And the big picture,and what has been consistently reported by all sources for some time now, is for AGGRESSIVE ALJ hiring. That is good news for those who made this register and those who hope to make one in the future.

Quick answer re my sources regarding the 500 figure: Head ALJ at an ODAR in MA told me after a video hearing a few weeks ago; another ALJ at an ODAR in Ohio told my vocational expert friend this week and the VE passed it on to me via Facebook PM; a Sr. Attorney friend and former colleague at an ODAR in Ohio gave that figure to me in a private FB message two weeks ago and also mentioned something about a new office/branch in Boston opening up(??). If there is a refresh in 2015 or 2016, I've expanded my horizons to 16 ODARs all within a 3 hour drive from my home in Hartford, CT.

H22, while I don't doubt you or your source, a quote from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" comes to my mind after reading your post: My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night.
The other sources posted here state 200-250 planned hires in 2015.

I forgot to mention that the respective ALJs girlfriends AND dogs concurred with the 500 figure. But seriously, there are a lot of baby boomers straining the system and the ODARs where I practiced in Ohio and now in CT are woefully understaffed. If not now, then when?

And if not us, the esteemed members of this little online community, then who?

I think Funky's post harmonizes the discrepancy. It appears that there is funding to hire 250 but the goal is to eventually get 500.
Don't listen to the nay-Sayers Hannah. Almost all of the info on this board comes from similar sources

My husband of 25+ years playing The Holly and The Ivy on our 1954 Mason & Hamlin- because, after all, there is more than logic and reason to this universe. Happy Holidays, everyone.
