NY HELPS:

This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS).

For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply and complete a probationary period.

At a future date (within one year of permanent appointment), it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be afforded with all the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in a NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified.

Individuals certified eligible for the 55-b/c program under the Governor's Program to Hire Persons/Veterans with Disabilities pursuant to Section 55-b/c of the Civil Service Law are encouraged to apply. To be considered, 55-b/c candidates must provide a copy of their letter of eligibility with their response and meet the NY HELPS minimum qualifications listed below.

NON-COMPETITIVE NY HELPS MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• A bachelor's degree and two years of professional experience in budget estimation, justification, and expenditure control functions.

Substitution:

*Your degree must have been awarded by a college or university accredited by a regional, national, or specialized agency recognized as an accrediting agency by the U.S. Department of Education/U.S. Secretary of Education. If your degree was awarded by an educational institution outside the United States and its territories, you must provide independent verification of equivalency. You can write to the Examination Information Desk of the NYS Department of Civil Service for a list of acceptable companies who provide this service. This information can also be found on the Internet at http://www.cs.ny.gov/jobseeker/degrees.cfm. You must pay the required evaluation fee.

It is essential that candidates clearly and concisely indicate how they meet the minimum qualifications in the cover letter or resume. Failure to show how you meet the minimum qualifications may result in disqualification and removal from consideration.

No Exam Required under NY HELPS.

Generally, titles filled via transition and open-competitive minimum qualifications may be recruited for using competitive methods, including transition lists and NY HELPS concurrently. Most current and future transition eligible lists do not need to be exhausted prior to making an NY HELPS appointment. However, for any transition title with newly established open-competitive qualifications, but where only a transition exam has recently been held, the resulting transition eligible list established on or after April 24, 2024, must be exhausted prior to making NY HELPS appointments to that title. Upon the establishment of a new transition list (where an open-competitive exam for the same title was not also held), agencies will have one month after the transition list establishment to make appointments from open recruitments; at one month, the transition list must be exhausted prior to making additional NY HELPS appointments.
