A New Opportunity to Continue Serving
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: August 19, 2021
The Social Security Administration (SSA) recognizes the sacrifices of the men and women who proudly serve our country. We are committed to helping you secure today and tomorrow. The ending of your military career can be the beginning of a rewarding one in public service.
SSA offers you the opportunity to continue serving the American people after your transition from military to civilian life. You selflessly served your country, and now we want you as part of SSA’s family. Our agency offers several career options in many diverse fields. Of all the employees we hired in fiscal year 2017, 25 percent were veterans.
We will help you prepare for your new career with SSA. Through our Veterans Employment Initiative, we provide tools, training, and information on all the employee benefits and services available to you as a new hire. You will have access to veteran-related training, reasonable accommodations, and regular contact with other veteran employees.
Veteran’s Preference is available to certain veterans who were discharged or released from active duty under honorable conditions. In accordance with the Veterans’ Preference law, you may be eligible for priority placement over other eligible applicants. In addition, you may be eligible for non-competitive selection through special hiring authorities for veterans.
Through a partnership with our agency and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), veteran employees may be eligible to participate in the VA’s GI Bill On-the-Job Training program that provides a stipend, in addition to their salary, while completing on-the-job training. Eligible disabled veterans can also gain valuable work experience to help them transition to the civilian work environment through the VA’s Nonpaid Work Experience Internship Program.
Our Veterans and Military Affairs Advisory Council serves as an advisory body to the Commissioner of Social Security, executives, and managers on veteran issues. The council also supports our veteran employees with mentorship, support, and other services.
I invite you to consider joining our SSA family. We will welcome you with open arms and the honor and respect you deserve. For more information, please visit our Opportunities for Veterans webpage designed just for you.

It’s a Godsend. I have always dreamed about working at the SSA. Although I am disabled, I get a few healthy hours. I haven’t forgotten my skills, and I would like to use it for work. Although money is a factor for life, in my case, the satisfaction I receive when I solve problems or when I create something beautiful from scratch, is unexplainable. I have experience working in the HR Division processing Personnel Transactions using Oracle and Peoplesoft. I am easily trainable, so no problem using any other tools. If the HR is reading this, please consider giving me a part-time position. I would like to do difficult and challenging jobs. Using my brain to solve problems also helps me with my disability.

SSA needs to come clean about the PTSD vets it hired who washed out…

I agree. I also feel they need to quit giving money to non legitimate children survivors or pay into a fund for just that.

I am a semi-retired Vietnam veteran. I will be 69 years old next month. Awarded Emeritus status by the American Institute of Architects after a 36 year career.
Would there be any position that I could utilize my knowledge and skills on a part time basis?
