For anyone that is a VEOA eligible applicant, if your status is currently showing "not referred" because you were found not eligible, you should call into the contact center. My status showed this, and I was confused because I am qualified to apply, so I called to find out what happened. I was told that they've had several people call in that are VEOA eligible with the same issue.
The position is only open to people that live in the local commuting area OR VEOA eligible applicants wherever they leave. Whoever was reviewing the applications evidently didn't pay attention to the VEOA eligible part, and marked as ineligible people who didn't live within the local commuting are regardless of their VEOA eligibility. If you call in, they will correct have the specialist who is in-charge of the vacancy correct the issue.
