I'm surprised we've only heard of three so far. Anybody else who hasn't spoken up? Are you guys who are on the Denver cert also on the certs for Miami, Irvine, Arlington and Cleveland? Just curious. I am on the Miami Cert too, but did not list the three other cities on my GAL. Denver is my second choice overall, so OMHA is now a serious decision if I don't "Tigerlaw" the interview and get an offer. Congrats to Tigerlaw and Wayne! I am honored to be in your company for the Denver OMHA Cert.

I am honored to be in your company for the Denver OMHA Cert. With Denver being a new office, there should be more than one slot you would hope! I know OMHA only has 70 to 75 ALJs, but it is a new office and what ALJ would pay his own way to Denver unless "Denver is his kind of town."

Fantastic! It looks like at least three of us are on the OMHA Denver Cert!

I was on the other OMHA certs, but Denver isn't on my GAL list - so, I didn't put myself in for consideration for that one. It's just too smoky for me in Denver these days...

Denver cert as well. Replied quickly expressing interest. Received a quick reply thanking me for my quick reply.
Love Summit County skiing - Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Even though I'm SEC like Geauxtiger, (I know, "hilltopper" indicates WKU ... but daughter going to UT ... Go Big Orange!), this would be one of my dream locations (other than somewhere in Tennessee).

Welcome geauxtiger, from another LSU fan and alumnus! I know what that other poster smelled was the sweet smell of steaming crawfish, spicy bloody marys, and 93,000 rabid fans on a crisp autumn night in Tiger Stadium. Definitely not a funky odor.

Belated congrats to all of you! I visited Keystone in March and learned how to snow bike, an experience I'm not likely to repeat. I'm really more of a lodge bunny.

I am not in Denver currently but lived there for 22 years, in Boulder for 10 before that. If anyone has questions about living in Denver, working there, feel free to PM me. I am not on the cert - no dog in the hunt!

I'm told that OMHA will place 16 ALJs at Denver. Whether that means 16 new hires is unknown. Probably some new hires because they likely will not be able to fill it with their existing ALJ Corps since my understanding is that they do not pay moving costs! I do not know what their total number of hires will be but I believe they will be hard pressed to find candidates who will accept offers without relocation costs at a time when the same candidates (Tigerlaw, Ace et al) may be hired by SSA who has a history of paying moving costs. Not to mention OMHA moves very slow when it comes to scheduling interviews or checking references. It seems to me that ODAR offers many more advantages.

It seems based on the above that OMHA is hiring at least 16 ALJs. Not all for Denver but every person they move from Miami, Irvine, or Cleveland has to be back filled in Miami, Irvine, or Cleveland. If they end up having to do a 2nd cert after ODAR to fill vacancies in Denver I guess I would be willing to take one for the team and move to Denver without relo expenses.
So any and all of you guys that want to turn down OMHA know that I support your decision 110%.

Wow! If OMHA is hiring 16 ALJs for the Denver office, that makes our chances of receiving an offer exceedingly good.
