Acs 21 Form PDF Details

Embarking on the process of applying for examinations or employment within Albany County's civil service system demands a thorough understanding of the ACS-21 form, a critical document that serves as both an application and an integral part of the examination itself. This detailed form, revised in November 2017, guides applicants through an array of inquiries ranging from personal identification, such as social security number and full name, to more specific questions regarding eligibility for veteran's credits and requests for special testing accommodations. It even delves into employment history, educational background, and the necessity for licenses or certifications pertinent to the applied position. Additionally, the ACS-21 form requires applicants to disclose any previous dismissals from employment, resignations in lieu of dismissal, and any discharge from the Armed Forces that was less than honorable, emphasizing the importance of transparency in these processes. The form further outlines the opportunity for veterans and children of firefighters or police officers killed in the line of duty to claim additional credits, thereby affecting their scoring in competitive examinations. It's structured to ensure that Albany County's civil service employs individuals who not only possess the requisite qualifications and experience but also uphold the integrity and dedication expected of public service positions. It is essential for applicants to approach this form with attention to detail and accuracy, as it significantly influences their eligibility and ranking within the civil service examination system.

ADDITIONAL CREDITS FOR VETERANS AND CHILDREN OF FIREFIGHTERS AND POLICE OFFICERS

KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY

INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

***If you are claiming additional credits as a disabled or non-disabled war veteran, you must submit a copy of your separation papers (DD214) within two months of the last filing date for examination.

A. VETERANS’ CREDITS

Have you used your veteranscredits for permanent appointment or promotion in New York State or any of its civil divisions since January 1, 1951?

Yes

No

***If you answer yes, you cannot use veterans’ credits again (NYS Civil Service Law §85.4) unless you had been certified as a non-disabled war veteran and became a disabled veteran after that.

VETERANS’ CREDITS: For the purpose of claiming veterans’ credits on a civil service examination, an applicant must have been honorably

discharged or released under honorable circumstances after serving on active duty with the armed forces of the United States during time of war.

Disabled and non-disabled veterans who establish eligibility for additional credits and are successful in the examination are entitled to have 10 and 5 points, respectively, (5 and 2.5 points in the case of promotional examinations) added to their earned scores, and provided they have not previously used such credits to obtain permanent appointment or promotion. Veterans may determine to waive the use of their credits at any time up to the time of permanent appointment or promotion.

Veterans who are eligible for additional credit must submit a copy of their separation papers (DD-214) within two (2) months of the last filing date for the examination. Veterans’ credits can only be added to a passing score on the examination.

Effective January 1, 1998, the State Constitution was amended to permit a candidate currently in the armed forces to apply for and be conditionally granted veterans’ credits in examinations. Any candidate who applies for such credit must provide proof of military status to receive the conditional credit. No credit may be granted after the establishment of the list. It is the responsibility of the candidate to provide appropriate documentary proof

indicating that the service was in time of war, as defined in Section 85 of the Civil Service Law, and that the candidate received an honorable discharge or was released under honorable conditions in order to be certified at a score including veteranscredits.

Effective January 1, 2014, the State Constitution was amended to permit disabled veterans to use additional credits on civil service examinations to obtain a second appointment or promotion.

If a veteran previously received five (non-disabled) points on an open-competitive examination and subsequently became certified as disabled, he or she would be entitled to receive another five (disabled) points on a subsequent examination whether an open-competitive or a promotion examination.

If a veteran previously received two and one-half (non-disabled) points on a promotion examination and subsequently became certified as disabled, he or she would be entitled to receive another seven and one-half (disabled) points on a subsequent examination whether an open-competitive or a promotion examination.

If you received or expect to receive an honorable discharge from the Armed Forces of the United States, as a war-time veteran or disabled veteran as defined below, you may claim extra credits to be added to your exam score, if you pass. The Armed Forces of the United States means the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard, and all components thereof, and the National Guard when in the service of the United States pursuant to call as provided by law on a full-time, active duty basis other than active duty for training purposes.

Discharged veterans are required to submit a copy of their DD-214 discharge papers. Active duty members of the Armed Forces must submit proof of active duty status, such as current Military I.D., Military Orders or other official military document that substantiates active duty status. To claim credits as a Disabled Veteran, you must be entitled to receive payments for a service- connected disability (rate at 10% or more) incurred during time of hostile action or war.
