I got one. Only had one city on cert and know for sure that they did not hire in my city. So are they not going to hire for my city?

It is likely SSA will not be hiring for that city on the August hire. Just because a city was listed on a cert, doesn't mean SSA will hire for that city. Some cities are listed and then a decision is made not to hire for that city. Other times, SSA wants to increase the number of people it sees in interviews, so it places a city on the cert to do the interviews for candidates that have that city on their certs. It allows SSA to view more people to make determinations on hires.

Are these FOAD letters (emails) sent from OPM or SSA?

Are these FOAD letters (emails) sent from OPM or SSA? they are sent from SSA. usually (at least for me) from Mellinda Werderitch's email.

Listen to what Sratty says. I got a FOAD email in April and an offer in June. It is the beginning of a new round of hires, not the end of the road. Good luck to you all in the next several weeks. Big things are coming.

I also want to remind people that at least a few times in the past a person received a FOAD and was hired off the same set of certs that had just been closed.

I received mine as well. I usually get excited and nervous when I get an email from Melinda Werderitch (aka Bob), but I've sort of come to expect this. Maybe next round will be the one. Even with my limited GAL, I am still hopeful.

My husband will be pretty excited to see the board adopted his acronym for the rejection letters.

Thank you all for the additional and encouraging information about the not necessarily awful meaning of the otherwise ominous FOAD letter. It's a big source of relief for someone like me who's new to the process.

What does it mean if no FOAD letter is received?

What does it mean if no FOAD letter is received? well, as with everything, it's just a guess, but it likely means you have cities on certs they haven't yet closed. I haven't received a letter yet either, but I had all 62 city-certs. so I think they closed out some, but not all, of the certs.

I received mine at 0721 Bobellinda time. Did everyone get their email that early, or are they trickling in over the course of the day?
