No one on the board, that I have seen, has reported being offered a July start date yet (ie. I'm setting aside apparently a couple of deferral requests that were granted). That leads me to agree that the calls for June and July to the 107 selectees are not finished yet, or by luck of the draw we'd have seen at least some reports on the board of July start dates.

Hurray!!! Gaiden got the call!!!!!! I'm soooooooo happy for you. I was praying for you. I even lit a candle. I don't usually do that, my mother always did, but I thought that the occasion called for it. Congrats to all those who have received the call thus far. As is our new motto on this forum, Just Keep Swimming!!!!

I spoke with my new best friend in FC about 15 minutes ago and I said yes as soon as he said his name. I will obviously vote in the polls. Best day in a very very very long time. He said that their were many more calls to make and that they were going to do the July calls at the same time. Now I need to go jump up and down some. So happy for you!

I'm delighted for you is most certainly inadequate. And that the agency made a truly outstanding choice is an understatement of the greatest magnitude. SSA is going to be very glad of this hire.

On a management call being held now, it was reported that 107 selections have been made as of last Friday, with a start date of 6/26, and that the chief judge's office is now working on a second round of hiring. I've been told that, in that call, they were still shooting for 225 hires in the 2016 fiscal year. This would suggest they are planning approximately 60 hires in September. This of course presumes that they meant 107 was the total for June and July (not that they made 107 offers for June, and now they hiring more for July, which is what they reportedly said, but doesn't make sense).

Congrats Gaiden. Very happy for you. Good to see that determination is finally paying off for everyone who received the call for the ALJ post. I've decided to stick it out. Congrats to everyone

Congrats to all who have received the call! You all are most deserving and provide an example of perseverance and generosity to those of us waiting for our shot on the upcoming cert(s).

We have previously established I am bad at math. But if there are 3 classes (June, July, September) and 107 is split between June and July as you say, then doesn't it take way more than 60 to get to 225 by Oct. 1?

I think the 225 is the total they hope to hire for this FY. That total would include the early 2016 class.

I just accepted an offer!!! I'm in the middle of conducting an arbitration, so will post more later.
Thank you, thank you to all of the Board members who educated me, challenged me, humored me, distracted me, consoled me, and suffered with me through this long haul!!

I think the 225 is the total opens for hiring for this FY. That makes sense. I thought there was only 1 class so far this year of 47 though... Or am I making that up?

IJ, if this was true as of Friday, then this week's offers are not included in the 107. It's not your math skills, but probably the out of date number.

It must include the hires made before the GAL expansions werw in effect.
