Thanks in advance
1) "Expired" doesn't matter. If you submitted in the most recent window (which is closed), it is fair game for review/call for an interview. Some people don't get called for 4-6 months after the window closes. The windows are usually twice a year, for a couple weeks at a time. You can (and should if you want to get an interview) continue to update your hours in your profile. The frequency with which you update the profile is a metric used to call for an interview, fwiw. Updating every week or two seems to be the norm with people who were hired when I was a year or so ago.
2) VIB is for anyone with an application in the most recent window who indicated they were a veteran. That should automatically generate an invitation to attend VIB.
