Please apply quickly though, as the vacancy announcement closes either on December 3, 2022 or once we receive 150 applications, whichever is sooner. The locality says Woodlawn, Maryland, but this is a remote inside position, which means the individual can live anywhere in the USA but would be responsible for getting themselves to Baltimore for in-person meetings periodically. Please also note the salary listed is the base salary for any Federal job and does not include locality pay, which could raise the minimum salary a lot. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p>

Therefore, to the extent a federal job announcement includes the requirement to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 pursuant to Executive Order 14043, that requirement does not currently apply. Positions with vaccination requirements under authority(ies) separate and distinct from Executive Order 14043 will be clearly identified. HHS may continue to require documentation of proof of vaccination to ensure compliance with those policies. Health and safety protocols remain in effect, in accordance with CDC guidance and the Safer Federal Workforce Task force. Consistent with current guidance, workplace safety protocols will no longer vary based on vaccination status or otherwise depend on the availability of vaccination information. Therefore, to the extent a job announcement states that HHS may request information regarding the vaccination status of selected applicants for the purposes of implementing workplace safety protocols, this statement does not currently apply.<br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif'>Remote-In Positions at CMS</span></strong>: This is a remote position; however, the position reports to a CMS Office on a periodic basis (e.g. 8-12 times per year).
