Keep in Mind

· Veteran status identification is entirely voluntary. The information submitted will be kept confidential (except when accommodations and/or emergency treatment are necessary; in that case, supervisors, managers, and/or safety personnel may be informed), and employees will not be penalized for any selected option.

· Veteran status identification can be changed at any time.

· If applicable, it may be helpful to verify the date of the most recent military discharge, any campaign badges or medals, and/or any service-related disability information before changing the identification.
