HHS is advertising on USA Jobs for 16 AA vacancies in their projected new Kansas City Office. I do not know how many Judges that translates to but a SWAG would be at least eight judges. The ALJ interviwing me said that the agency was growing. A good sign for those of us on the register because that tranlates to more opportunity, especially for folks like the fella who only has a couple of locations on his GAL and Kansas City is one of them.

Why is pay so low? Are AAs at SSA only promoted to grade 11s, too?

I know other agencies hire attorneys that cap at GS-14 without a promotion. SSA and OMHA AA positions cap out at GS-12. And upward movement can be difficult within the Agency. The main reason I left SSA--there was no upward movement at all. |

I also wonder if Orchid's reference to "other attorneys" is broader than the AA positions. For example, at SSA, attorneys at OGC usually reach a higher grade than 12.

Sorry for any confusion. I meant non-managerial attorney advisors.
