OPM has always interpreted this to mean a war declared by Congress. For example, service during a 'war' is used to determine entitlement to Veterans' preference and service credit under title 5. (Title 38 also governs Veterans' entitlement to benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).)īoth title 5 and title 38 use many of the same terms, but in different ways. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) administers entitlement to veterans' preferencein employment under title 5, United States Code, and oversees other statutory employment requirements in titles 5 and 38. Please check back in the coming weeks for updates. OPM is currently in the process of updating and revising the website to reflect this change, and will be updating this information as soon as possible. As a result of the Supreme Court’s decision, the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will now be able to extend certain benefits to Federal employees and annuitants who have legally married a spouse of the same sex, regardless of the employee’s or annuitant’s state of residency. On June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court ruled that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional.
