The Social Security Administration recently received funding to hire a 
significant number of employees throughout the country. This hiring 
initiative offers a unique opportunity for individuals with disabilities 
who may want to get a job with SSA. These jobs will be at various 
skill levels including a number of entry-level positions.

What kinds of jobs is SSA offering?

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 new or replacement Social Security cards and other types of 
inquiries. SSA also is recruiting employees to work in Program Service 
Centers where they will process claims and to work in hearings offices 
in legal and paralegal positions.

Where are these jobs located?

All across the United States; for example, some are in the 1,300 local 
SSA field offices or SSA hearings offices, some in the 37 teleservice 
centers nationwide, some in SSAs 6 program service centers and some 
at SSA headquarters in the Baltimore area.

How will SSA recruit?

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 Schedule A.

How can I tell if an individual is eligible for Schedule A?

A person is Schedule A eligible if s/he has documentation establishing 
both a disability and job readiness.

Who can provide this documentation?

o Proof of a disability can be provided by a licensed 
medical professional or any Federal agency, state agency, or agency of 
the District of Columbia or a US territory that issues or provides 
disability benefits. A recent benefit status letter is acceptable from 
a Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income 
disability beneficiary.

o Proof of job readiness can be provided by a licensed 
vocational rehabilitation specialist working with a State Vocational 
Rehabilitation agency or an Employment Network under the Ticket to Work 
program.
