So......Groundhog Day again? Does any insider know what is really up? There was an earlier thread that spoke of the second class (August class) offers being made around June 23.

This is what Commissioner Astrue said June 1, 2009:
"With the addition of the 148 new administrative law judges whom we are hiring this week, we should be able to continue to make progress even in the face of the recession....."
There are three full working days ahead of us to complete this week. Lets just wait and see.

Hiring and notification are two different things.

It appears that not a single report has come in regarding a selection for the second (starting July 20) group. Strange. And equally strange is the use of telephone notifications. Once selections have been made (and this may be the hold up), e-mail notices -- particularized only in terms of duty station and start date -- could easily be sent to all those selected within one hour.

I agree it is strange that not one single report has come in for the July. Perhaps there are many voicemails waiting to be retrieved a home tonight with a July 20 start date.

I think they probably have other work to do (like sending out packets to people who already accepted), and don't want to get all involved in making three or four phone calls and then returning to the other work. They will probably wait until they have a few hours of phone calls to make before making more. |

I think the primary rush is to get the June report date people road-ready since they have cut the time so short. There is plenty of time for the July report date people by ODAR standards.

It's a little after 3:30am West Coast and I'm up ready for another day of fun. Thanks to everyone who posts for the humor and the information.

I once compared this wait to Ralphie's waiting for his secret decoder ring in A Christmas Story. Actually, this is worse. This reminds me of first semester first year grade postings.
You know, when they used to post grades on a wall and the nearby pub was open at 9:00 am.

This is more like going to bed Christmas Eve, and then suddenly realizing that you forgot to tell Santa that you were going to be at someone else's house for Christmas. |

I agree that would be a good way to do it. But the number would have to be assigned early in the process.
SSA could do this for the 2010 round. OPM could if they go get a new cert.
Change doesn't' come easily though.

I was thinking it would be nice for Falls Church to at least list the openings and then update a couple of times a day to show what was left. At least we'd have something to go on!

Not aware of any July offers. But I know less than nothing and have no connections in Falls Church.

From the offer thread, I do not see that any offers have been made for Texas, ARkansas, Oklahoma, or New Mexico, and I do not recall any announcemnets of offers for the later class. Does anyone know if all the offers - for all states and for both classes - have been made ?
