Final answer:
The statement is false; a 10-point preference eligible who files late and is not certified for a particular federal job vacancy is not entitled to consideration for future vacancies unless they reapply according to the proper procedures at the time of the new vacancy.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question addresses the rights of a 10-point preference eligible regarding late application filing for federal employment. According to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and veterans' preference laws, individuals who are 10-point preference eligible due to a service-connected disability or other qualifying factors should be given preference in the hiring process for federal positions.
However, if a 10-point preference eligible veteran files their application after the closing date of the announcement and is not granted an exception to file late, their application typically will not be considered for that particular vacancy.
For future vacancies, the rules can vary. In general, a late application for a past vacancy does not entitle the individual to automatic consideration for future vacancies. An individual would need to apply again in compliance with the deadlines and application procedures for any new positions.
Therefore, the statement is false; a 10-point preference eligible who files late and is not certified is not entitled to have his/her applications considered for future vacancies unless they reapply according to the proper procedures at that time.
