**Request for Extension**

**Veteran's Preference Documents**

To claim veteran's preference for a specific position, appropriate
veteran documentation must be received by the closing date of the
position. Appropriate documentation generally includes DD 214 for
documentation of military service and discharge under honorable
conditions; and if claiming disability, a letter from the U.S.
Department of Veteran's Affairs (only valid 12 months from the date it
was issued by the Department) to document any claimed current disability
rating and percentage of applicable disability. For more information on
appropriate veteran documentation, see Veteran's Preference at
www.tva.com/employment.

If veteran documentation cannot be received by the closing date of the
position on which you are applying, this Request for Extension,
Veteran's Preference Documentation may be filed. It should be emailed to
careers@tva.gov and **must be received by the closing date of the
position** in order to be considered. All Requests for Extensions will
be reviewed and approved or denied on a case by case basis, based on
business needs.

| Subsection (e) (3) of 5 U.S.C. ξ 522a (Section 3 of the Privacy Act)  |
| requires that TVA inform you of its authority to request information  |
| and the uses which TVA may make of the information requested. That    |
| subsection further requires TVA to inform you of the effects of not   |
| providing any or all of the requested information.                    |
|                                                                       |
| TVA's authority to request the information you will provide is        |
| derived from the TVA Act and the Veterans Preference Act of 1944, as  |
| amended, and will be used to determine your preference eligibility    |
| status. Information provided on the form may be furnished to people,  |
| agencies, organizations, or institutions in order to verify such      |
| status.                                                               |

| Furnishing the requested information is voluntary; however, failure   |
| to provide all or part of the information and documentation requested |
| may result in a lack of further consideration for employment, your    |
| preference status not being considered, or in the termination of your |
| employment.                                                           |
|                                                                       |
| Information provided on this form is normally used only to determine  |
| eligibility for veterans preference. Information obtained on this     |
| form may be furnished to third parties as authorized by law. For      |
| example, should a dispute arise or a congressional inquiry be made    |
| regarding TVA employment practices, the information may be made       |
| available outside of TVA in the course of that dispute or inquiry.    |
| Further, information on this form may be made available to law        |
| enforcement agencies in the exercise of their duties, or to a         |
| prospective employer or TVA contractor upon proper request.           |
