Title: Veterans' Preference; Gold Star Fathers 
Abstract:

This final rule implements statutory changes pertaining to veterans’ preference. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is making this change in response to the Gold Star Fathers Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-62), which broadened the category of individuals eligible for veterans’ preference to provide that fathers of certain permanently disabled or deceased veterans shall be included with mothers of such veterans as preference eligibles for treatment in the civil service. This action will align OPM’s regulations with the existing statute without affecting the substantive rights of applicants.
