ELMS Online - Area Definitions
For the purposes of list certification, New York Stats is divided into 13 geographic areas.
Depending on the salary grade(s) of the titles filled from the eligible list you are on, you may be active for all geographic areas, or only for the geographic area that contains your zip code.
In addition, there are some eligible lists that can be used to only fill positions in a specified area or group of areas.
When viewing a particular list, if the AREA column contains a number(s) rather than STATEWIDE, it means that is the area(s) where that Eligible List can be used.
