APF

Appropriated Fund (APF) is federal employment, civil service positions that are paid for by money appropriated by Congress.

This differs from Non-Appropriated employment (NAF), in that the funding used to pay the salaries for NAF employees is self-generated by the installation where the NAF employee works. Only US Citizens can apply for positions under the APF employment program. Non-US Citizens may apply for positions under the Local National Employment Program.

Local Nationals

The Local Nation (LN) Employment Program hires for Appropriated Funds (APF) positions, as well as Non-Appropriated (NAF) positions.

Only non-US citizens can apply for positions under the LN Employment Program. This includes German, as well as European and other foreign country citizens. Foreign country citizens must provide a SOFA Stamp as proof that they fall under the SOFA-Agreement.

Qualification Requirements:
It is important to read the announcement carefully, complete all assessments and submit all required documents.
NOTE: Military Spouse/Family Member Preference and Self-Sponsored employees who PCS’d from CONUS are primary US APF employment categories.

Military Spouse Preference

What? Military Spouse Preference is a benefit given to a qualified military spouse seeking employment within the Department of Defense, which includes Non appropriated Funds (NAF), Civil Service (GS/WG) and AAFES positions. MSP gives the spouse a higher priority for government positions.

Eligibility Requirements:
– Relocation via a PCS move to sponsor’s new permanent duty station
– Married the military member PRIOR to his/her reporting date to new area
– Meets basic qualifications and is among the best qualified
– Meets all pre-employment criteria and is immediately appointable under applicable recruitment procedures
– Posses a copy of PCS orders identifying the sponsor, reporting date to new location and YOUR name is on the orders

Do I have to use my MSP to apply?
No, but if you are hired for, or are converted to a “continuing position”, your eligibility for this PCS move has not been used. A continuing position is defined as positions which appointments are made without time limitation, and are required to have a fixed work schedule, i.e., part time or full time. NAF Flexible category positions are considered non-continuing and MSP eligibility remains intact if appointment for a flexible position only.

How is MSP Lost?
– Accepting or refusing a continuing position in the Federal Service, whether or not preference was applied
– Refusal to participate in established recruitment procedures
– Loss of military spouse status due to divorce, death of sponsor, sponsor’s retirement, or separation from active duty

Other Important Information:
– MSP only applies to positions within the commuting area of the military sponsor’s permanent duty station
– MSP eligibility begins 30 days before the military sponsor’s reporting date at the new duty location
– Military spouses seeking preference with less than six months remaining in the area may not be selected for continuing positions
