The Social Security Administration is advertising positions as Administrative Law Judges. They will consider only the first 1,000 applications submitted by September 11. The announcement says that “The incumbent is subordinate to and accountable to the direction and supervision of the Commissioner of Social Security.”

"subordinate and accountable"? Aren't ALJ's supposed to be independent from the commissioner as far as the decisions of their cases?
To be a judge you must now bend the knee…
Only loyalist should apply. Another example of not hiring office workers where the demand is greater.
Workers beware. No job protection even for ALJs
The agency is moving to a new model where each office will no longer have it's own HOCALJ. There will be 1 HOCALJ that oversees several offices and their sole function will be to manage ALJ's under their charge.
The announcement plans on hiring March/April 2027. My guess is they will see how many ALJ's will retire by year's end. There have been several announcements opened this FY and few if any positions were filled. I can see the agency hiring and then removing telework so choose your duty station carefully.
ALJs are employees of the agency. They are not self employed.
Good luck getting them to retire. These greedy people hang on into their seventies and eighties.
