# §680.650. Do veterans receive priority of service under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act?


Yes, veterans, as defined under WIOA [sec. 3(63)(A)](/cfr/20/3.md?p=63-A) and [38 U.S.C. 101](/usc/38/101.md), receive priority of service in all Department of Labor-funded training programs under [38 U.S.C. 4215](/usc/38/4215.md) and described in [20 CFR part 1010](/cfr/20/part1010.md). A veteran still must meet each program's eligibility criteria to receive services under the respective employment and training program. For income-based eligibility determinations, amounts paid while on active duty or paid by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for vocational rehabilitation, disability payments, or related VA-funded programs are not to be considered as income, in accordance with [38 U.S.C. 4213](/usc/38/4213.md) and [§ 683.230](/cfr/20/683.230.md) of this chapter.
