How to Apply

DFAS job announcements are posted on the Office of Personnel Management's website, USAJOBS . You can use the USAJOBS search features to locate jobs of interest. Once you find a job you'd like to apply for, you should perform the following steps:

  • Determine if you are eligible to apply. Look on the first page of the job announcement under "Who May Be Considered" for a description of the area of consideration. If it is anything other than "All US Citizens", you must also have appointment eligibility .
  • Review the "Qualifications" tab on the job announcement for the position's experience and/or education requirements. For positions in professional and administrative series, professional credentials and certifications are also used in the applicant selection process.
  • Click on the "How to Apply" tab and review application instructions.
  • Select the "Apply Online" button at the bottom of the vacancy announcement.
  • You will be directed to USAJOBS to log in or create an account, if you do not have one.
  • The prompts will direct you to a system where you will complete and submit your application.

DFAS is transitioning to a new on-line application system. No matter which system you use, follow instructions in the vacancy announcement and the on-line system to submit a complete application.
