Recommendation for Job Seekers<\/p>\n

Investigate employment opportunities in agencies with critical hiring needs and agencies that have shown a commitment to hiring people with disabilities. For example, almost 80 percent of projected new hires will be in five professional fields: security, protection, compliance and enforcement; medical and public health; accounting, budget, and business; engineering and sciences; and program management\/analysis and administration.<\/p>\n

The Employer Assistance & Recruiting Network (EARN), funded by ODEP, is a free service that connects employers with skilled job candidates. EARN also offers assistance to employment service providers and job-seekers with disabilities by providing them with job leads from employers interested in including people with disabilities in their recruiting efforts. Currently, 162 federal agencies are using EARN services to identify qualified candidates with disabilities.<\/p>\n

SSA is recruiting employees to work in field offices and teleservice centers where they will assist the public by phone and in person with a wide variety of program related activities such as filing claims, applying for a new or replacement Social Security cards and other types of inquiries. SSA also is recruiting employees to work in claims processing centers and to work in hearings offices in legal and paralegal positions.<\/p>\n

Where are these jobs located?<\/p>\n

All across the United States; for example, some are in the local SSA field offices or SSA hearings offices, some in the 37 teleservice centers nationwide, some in SSA\u2019s program service centers and some at SSA headquarters in the Baltimore area.<\/p>\n

How will SSA recruit?<\/p>\n

* SSA will use a variety of avenues to recruit and hire people with disabilities. In particular, the Agency is reaching out to Ticket to Work ticket holders who are trying to return to work, veterans with disabilities through programs such as the Wounded Warrior transitional program, and students with disabilities. Many individuals with disabilities will qualify for consideration under a special placement authority called \u201cSchedule A.\u201d<\/p>\n
