I’m pretty sure this was OPM’s stance prior to these regs.

Were there ALJs getting student loan repayment as part of their compensation? I am confused by this.

The relo incentives are additional payments to indice individuals to relocate to a location in addition to relocation expenses. |

The minimum qualifications scare me. If I read them correctly you just have to have a law degree and be licensed? So someone fresh out of law school who has passed the bar meets minimum qualifications to be an ALJ?

So if an agency doesn't add its own requirements, ALJ is a good position for a 26yo senator's son right out of law school?

That senator's son can probably do whatever he wants to do besides getting an ALJ gig. I can think of plenty of senators' sons that are doing quite well.
If you're talking about a state legislature senator, then they are all up in that.

If you're talking about a state legislature senator, then they are all up in that. Are they (state senators) really? I am serious, bc that would be concerning. I'm no senators son (h/t CCR), but it would be kind of cool to do the ALJ gig for a year or two just for the party conversation piece of "I used to be a judge.." and a feather in the cap. Not as like an actual career or calling, but something to put on your resume. |

So if an agency doesn't add its own requirements, ALJ is a good position for a 26yo senator's son right out of law school? I’m too lazy to look, but there was a thread with this discussion when the FY 2019 budget was finalized in early 2019. The Senate included language that all SSA ALJs had to be hired from the OPM register. That move bypassed the executive order allowing for ALJ positions to seemingly become political appointments, although none were ever hired, so you can decide who won. As you may recall, the removal of OPM from the process was part of the attempt to eliminate Opm altogether. It now seems that idea has fallen by the wayside (at least temporarily). The argument for doing so was allowing each agency to hire the ALjs it wanted and not from OPMs pile—something Pixie et al said SSA had wanted to do for years. The opposite of that argument was the 26yo nephew/niece hired as ALj in exchange for a vote on X bill. OMHA included a 7y experience requirement when they solicited apps a few weeks later, and it seems that I have seen ALj postings from other agencies that had similar language but it seems that under the exec order, an agency can hire who they want. |
