For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non‑competitive appointment (no examination required), but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications. After approximately one year of permanent appointment, employees hired under NY HELPS are expected to have their non‑competitive status converted to competitive status without further examination, affording them the same rights and privileges as 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.

Candidates may also be qualified for permanent competitive appointment if reachable from the appropriate Civil Service eligible list.

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 (see the NYS Department of Civil Service website for a list of acceptable verification companies).

Employees appointed via the NY HELPS program are restricted for promotional appointment until their position is covered‑in to the competitive class by the New York State Civil Service Commission (CSC), or they otherwise obtain permanent competitive status. The CSC has recently covered‑in employees who were appointed via NY HELPS on a permanent or contingent permanent basis between June 26, 2024, and June 11, 2025.
