The unremarried surviving spouse of a deceased veteran can also use the preference.
Restrictions
Preference order: disabled veteran → spouse of disabled veteran → veteran → unremarried surviving spouse. Age and unrelated physical impairment cannot be used to disqualify an otherwise eligible candidate. Applies to appointment, employment, and promotion at all levels of state, county, and local government.
