With the exception of bilingual applicants, do offers for ALJ positions normally coincide with applicants' scores? In other words, does SSA normally make offers to folks with 85 NORs at the beginning of the week and to folks with 75 NORs toward the end of the week?

That's not because SSA wants it that way; it is a function of hiring from top 3s.

Not sure of the standard operating procedure, but it does seem to be the case this time. Of course, there are two classes. So, it may be that the June class is being hired from top to bottom and then calls for the July class will start at a higher NOR. So, seeing people with lower scores hired doesn't mean that you're out of the game.

They have generally followed a pattern of higher scores to lower scores, but there have been hiring cycles where they appear to go back up the ladder (so to speak) and cascade down again. So, those holding higher scores, I wouldn't necessarily give up hope, but yes - your general impression is correct that the offers tend to be higher NOR folks early in the cycle and relatively lower as we go along.

In other words, does SSA normally make offers to folks with 85 NORs at the beginning of the week and to folks with 75 NORs toward the end of the week? Yes - Regulations require that SSA hire from the top three scorers for the location. Consequently, the offers go out roughly in descending NOR order. The gap to scores much lower indicates either a special requirement (like biliteracy) or hiring for a location that does not have many applicants, so the top 3 might be quite a bit lower than for the more heavily requested ones. Also - the order in which the offers are made allows SSA to manouever to the applicants it wants by offering other locations first to the applicants above the desired applicant, moving the desired one up to the top 3.
