Application for Senior Administrative Law Judge

Description of the Senior Administrative Law Judge (SALJ) Program: The SALJ Program allows retired Administrative Law
Judges (ALJs) to be reemployed on a temporary and intermittent basis to complete hearings of one or more specified case(s) in
accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946. Upon appointment, and while reemployed, the retired ALJ is referred
to as a SALJ. (See 5 U.S.C. § 3323(b), and 5 CFR 930.201, et seq)
Who Can Apply: Federal ALJs who retired from the Federal Government, and who are currently receiving a federal annuity under
the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or the Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS). Retired ALJs are required to
demonstrate through proper documentation that they are licensed and authorized to practice law under the laws of a State, the
District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or other territorial court established under the Constitution. Judicial status is
acceptable in lieu of "active" status in States that prohibit sitting judges from maintaining "active" status to practice law. Being in
"good standing" is also acceptable in lieu of "active" status in States where the licensing authority considers "good standing" as
having a current license to practice law. If eligible, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will place the retired ALJs name
on its SALJ Master List for referral to a hiring agency for possible reemployment. Placement on the SALJ Master List is not a
guarantee of reemployment.
Instructions: Type or print clearly in black or blue ink. Complete the application and Geographic Preference Statement for Senior
Administrative Law Judge Applicant (OPM Form 1655-A). Submit your application and requested documentation to: Administrative
Law Judge Program Office, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street, NW, Washington, DC 20415 or Email to
