Additional information

Applicant packages received during the fiscal year posting period will be registered for consideration throughout the fiscal year (Fiscal Years are from Oct 1 - Sep 30). All applicant packages expire at fiscal year-end (September 30th), and registered applicants will receive notifications on how to apply to be registered for the next fiscal year.

The non-competitive hiring authority that qualified individuals with disabilities can be considered under is:

Schedule A, 5 CFR 213.3102(u), for hiring people with severe physical disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, and intellectual disabilities. This excepted authority is used to appoint persons with severe physical disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, and intellectual disabilities. Such individuals may qualify for conversion to permanent status after two years of satisfactory service. Severe physical disabilities include but are not limited to blindness, deafness, paralysis, missing limbs, epilepsy, dwarfism, and more.

In order to be eligible for employment through the Schedule A non-competitive process, documentation of the disability is required. Such documentation is used to verify that the individual being hired is indeed a person with an intellectual disability, severe physical disability, or psychiatric disability. This documentation must be provided to the hiring agency before an individual can be hired. Documentation of eligibility for employment under Schedule A can be obtained from a licensed medical professional (e.g., a physician or other medical professional certified by a state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory to practice medicine); a licensed vocational rehabilitation specialist (i.e., state or private); or any Federal agency, state agency, or agency of the District of Columbia or a U.S. territory that issues or provides disability benefits.

In addition, upon hiring, the individual with a disability or the agency Human Resource office should complete the Standard Form 256(PDF file). The SF-256 includes the legal definition of disability and lists various disabilities, including several that are considered targeted disabilities.

Depending on position assignment, position may or may not be in a bargaining unit.

This standing register supports a discretionary program and does not ensure you will be reviewed for positions of interest by a hiring manager. We encourage you to monitor the USAJobs website and apply directly to specific vacancy announcements of interest.
