Are DoD activities allowed to fill vacancies from other sources when qualified RPL registrants are available?
It depends on the circumstances. Your RPL rights apply only when a DoD activity in your commuting area plans to fill a vacant position from outside the current DoD civilian workforce. There are also a few exceptions that would allow an activity to hire an external applicant without regard to the RPL. For example, a qualified applicant with 10-point veterans preference may be selected in lieu of qualified RPL registrants. Your HRO can explain more about these procedures when you register.
