OPM and SSA Partner to Meet the Need for Additional Administrative Law Judges
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: August 19, 2021
Every day agencies across the Federal Government come together to provide important services to the American people. This spring, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) joined forces to recruit prospective candidates for administrative law judge (ALJ) positions. ALJs are integral to SSA and other agencies to make impartial decisions on such issues as disability determinations, licensing, or grievances. Nearly 2,000 ALJs work in 27 Federal agencies across the government.
SSA’s hearing and appeals operation is one of the largest administrative adjudicative systems in the world. OPM provides agencies with certificates of well-qualified ALJ candidates, drawn from a robust register, to fill vacant positions. We are happy to report that OPM recently issued an announcement for entry-level ALJ positions on USAJOBS, which yielded more than 5,000 applications.
In the coming months, OPM will review qualifications and complete the thorough approval process by which applicants who successfully complete both online and in-person assessments of the examination will be added to the ALJ register. In addition to scheduling the current administration of the exam, OPM replenished the existing ALJ register with new candidates who successfully completed the 2013 administration of the examination. OPM also opens the examination on a quarterly basis to disabled veterans and certain individuals who are entitled to veterans’ preference in relation to disabled veterans.
SSA and OPM are committed to continuing to work together to fulfill this important government function.

Does social security provide lawyers to help with appeals?
Luis A.
Hi, Kraig. Thanks for your question. Many people handle their own appeals. A representative familiar with Social Security’s programs can provide a valuable service to you. However, the decision whether or not to seek the services of a representative (attorney or other qualified person) is up to you. More information about representatives can be found in our publication, “Your Right to Representation.” We hope this information helps.

Found a lump under my armpit. First it was small. The pain was not felt. Now rubbing and growing. My friends such do not. Recently heard that it can be serious disease. But I think, just fatty lump. Found clear information about this lump. Now I’m not afraid of terrible diagnosis. Everything is clear and detail is written down to the smallest detail.
Many have problems with the armpits. There are a lot of bacteria. Then formed balls. They can be painful, but not always. It is better to know in advance about this problem. In this case there will be no fear of horror. Good, that now I understand this.

Everybody storage sheds several hair daily. But when you are seeing a number of extra hair within your clean nowadays, you might be damaging hair in your standard everyday regimen. Extreme hair-drying, straightening, and brushing could cause far more locks to fall out than is typical. Try using the much cooler options on dryers along with other appliances and use a gentle clean and don’t brush way too hard.

To help you avoid or slow down hair thinning you should attempt and live a stress free life. Anxiety specially in females have demonstrated to improve the amount of hairloss. So if you would like always keep all your hair rather than observe it drop out every day, make an effort to live as stress free as you can.
