Well you have the announcement, so tell us if she specifically applied for MSP. It does not sound like it. You haven’t been articulate not clear about many of the details, so what you perceive as people attacking you is their way of trying to get to the bottom of the actual situation (which now looks very different than it did your first post).

Yes she did, but it wasn't as a military spouse. Its labeled and everyone calls it military spouse preference but it also included spouses of 100 percent disabled veterans. I just haven't been able to find anything to verify their initial response saying they cannot refer ANY applications to the hiring manager if a military spouse preference candidate applies. They are literally saying that its against the law for them to refer anyone else if a military spouse applies. Their exact wording is " By law, qualified Priority Program Preference for Military Spouses block all new appointments to the Federal government, which this would have been a new appointment for you." There are two problems with this statement, first off, I can't find where it states that military spouse preference BLOCKS all other applicants, and the second problem is the Executive order which gives military spouses this preference also includes spouses of 100 percent disabled veterans.[b] I just don't understand why they didn't include her into this category. [/b]Even if they didn't, where does it say in writing that PPP for Military spouses BLOCKS all other applicants? Can I at least get that information?

NP jumping in.  For the bolded part above, is it possible she was found ineligible for the military spouse [i]non-competive hiring authority[/i] due to the date of your documentation of 100% disability?  Seems like there may be a 2 year time window to use that eligibility.  See third condition listed here:  https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/hiring-information/veterans-authorities/#url=Conditions

same “np” that jumped in.  I corrected my language to be a bit more clear, now italicized.  That’s what we’re talking about, right?  She applied through the military spouse non-hiring authority path?[/quote]
