The Social Security Administration is advertising a job opening for an "Executive Director for Disability Service improvement." The job is in Washington, rather than Baltimore or Boston, where this experiment is to begin. The job will pay from $109,808 to $165,200 per year. The following is the job description:

The incumbent of this position serves as the primary advisor to the Commissioner and lead Agency executive on he rollout and post-implementation phases of the Agency's new approach to the decision-making process when an applicant files an application for disability benefits under Title II or Supplemental Security Income disability benefits under Title XVI of the Social Security Act. In addition, this executive will be responsible for developing future refinements to the disability claims process. This new approach is the first major program enhancement to the Agency's disability programs in more than 20 years and capitalizes on the efficiencies and benefits gained by the Agency's successful implementation of an electronic disability case processing system.
