I received a supplemental for Milwaukee. It was the only additional city offered to me. I was previously offered Hartford and Newark. Milwaukee was not on my GAL so I am quite surprised to get offered this city.

Having seen the other posts yesterday and this morning and finding my email and spam folders empty, I took a deep breath and concluded that there would be no ALJ jobs available for me. (tiny GAL; top of the bell curve score). I was then pleasantly surprised to find an email with an updated GAL (one city). So don't give up yet! It obviously takes time for the staff to get the certs together and send the emails. The return date is Wednesday, January 21. So now I can relax and enjoy the long weekend without compulsively checking my email and this board for updates.
Good luck to all.

I am sure you will eventually receive an email correction from SSA as I did on Baltimore last time. |

Got a supplemental cert about an hour ago for Manchester, Milwaukee and Fresno. Very exciting -- came during lunch with my wife and son (who is home on break from college).

I did not realize that it could be a mistake. Oh well. Back to waiting.

Just got a cert for Fresno and Oak Park, Mi. I'm a low scorer - perhaps the emails go out in order. So hard to figure out what the ramifications are. Am I still alive for the one city of my previous four city GAL that apparently (according to board intel) was not filled? Is there no chance of making the March hire that is apparently going on now?
I remain surprised that I make a cert at all, given my score. No one has been hired (as reported by the board) with a score like mine.
Also, does this mean that I didn't totally $^%! up my interview as I suspected? Does it also mean that I didn't get sunk by the one reference who I am concerned sunk me?
Happy to be alive, and still in consideration for this job.

The hiring for March class isn't done yet. We don't know how long those old unfilled certs live, so maybe those old cities are still in the works. You have been interviewed already, yes?
It doesn't necessarily mean anything about your interview or your references. They don't keep you off a cert for a bad interview or a bad reference. If any of that happened, it will only come into play down the road if you are three struck as s result and SSA asks OPM to leave the three strikers off the list. Until then, you are on certs.

Darn it. I was hoping that I could at least divine some good news from the fact that I saw another cert. in any event, good to know the answer. Yes, I interviewed back in November. Thanks for the info |

Never give up hope as long as you keep on receiving certs pr supplemental certs you are safe and continue to have a chance my friend. Don't get down yet, there are still plenty of hires to occur. |

Good luck all. Don't give up and don't give in. Look at all the nut jobs they've hired already.

I can tell you you needed a NOR of 70.14 or higher to be on the Charlottesville, VA cert....LOL! Other than that I cannot tell you anything with certainty. Hence, if you scored above that score and Charlottesville was on your GAL you should have received a cert for it.

Excuse the confused. So.... do we think different cities could have different cut offs ? I guess based on the varying number of people who have selected each city ?

Excuse the confused. So.... do we think different cities could have different cut offs ? I guess based on the varying number of people who have selected each city ? Absolutely. With each city having its own cert and different cities being variously popular on GALs, it is pretty much guaranteed cities will have different cutoffs. |

Gary you are correct that each city because of differences in GALs would have different NOR cutoff score. So, you might make some city certs and not others based upon your NOR score. |
