The Position
A CLAIMS SPECIALIST conducts interviews with the public to obtain, clarify, and verify information. You will make decisions on benefit eligibility and payments for a variety of claims: retirement claims, disability claims, survivors claims, Medicare claims, and SSI claims. This is a public contact position, so your people skills are paramount. Social Security offices are fast-paced and require you to be detail oriented. Come make a difference for those we serve in Maui County.

The Pay
Dependent upon your education and qualifications, the selectee will start as a GS-5 or GS-7 ($38,047 - $47,128, including 10.99% Maui County resident COLA). A successful CLAIMS SPECIALIST has promotion potential to the GS-11 level, which starts at $69,747 and currently tops out at $90,675.
A career with the U.S. Government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package. As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits that are designed to make your federal career very rewarding.

To Qualify
To qualify for the Recent Graduates Program, applicants must have completed all requirements of an academic course of study leading to an associates, bachelor's, master's, professional, doctorate, vocational, or technical degree or qualifying certificate program from an accredited educational institution within the 2 years preceding the closing date of this announcement. Preference-eligible veterans who, due to military service obligations, were precluded from applying to the Program during any portion of the 2-year eligibility period are entitled to a full 2-year period of eligibility upon release or discharge from active duty. In no event, however, may the eligibility period extend beyond 6 years from the date on which the preference eligible veteran completed the requirements of an academic course of study.
