Updated Military Service Questionnaire (MSQ)
within the Employment Service (ES) Manual

To: MWA Directors, MWA General List, and WD Staff

The Employment Service (ES) Manual contains an updated Military Service Questionnaire (MSQ). The new MSQ -Veteran form eliminates the need for the MSQ – Spouse or Caregiver form.

Changes to the MSQ-Veteran form include:

  • A single fillable or printable PDF form that also allows for uploading online systems.
  • Section changes:
    • 2A: Expanded programmatic qualifiers with an embedded link to the campaign medal and badges definitions.
    • 2B: Clarified programmatic qualifiers.
    • 2C: Inclusion of VA spouse or caregiver identification.
      • The inclusion of Additional Note and Comments with embedded links for clarification.
        • Definition of active duty
        • Reference for low income
        • Definition of Transitioning Service Member
        • Definition of spouse or caregiver

These updates are intended to expedite workflow by eliminating the need for multiple forms and simplifying the process for ES staff and veteran clients.
