Applying for jobs

Job openings in the Social Security Administration (SSA) may be found at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) website (www.usajobs.gov).  We have specific Qualification Requirements for our entry level positions. You may also visit our national website (www.socialsecurity.gov/careers) to find information about the kinds of positions we fill, the salaries we pay, the application process, etc.

At times, SSA hires directly using special noncompetitive authorities such as the Veterans Recruitment Authority and the Schedule A hiring authority for individuals with disabilities.

Information about job openings is also available by contacting the Office of Operational Human Resources Services in Kansas City, Missouri at (816) 936-5820 and DCHR.OOHRS.KC@ssa.gov.
