Jobs With Social Security

Our employees work in a variety of areas in which they may make decisions regarding the approval or denial of claims for Social Security or Supplemental Security Income, help beneficiaries in the resolution of problems, or compute benefits. Many of our positions involve direct face-to-face contact with the public; others require contact primarily by telephone. Our employees receive in-depth training not only in Social Security and State laws, but also in the computer processing equipment used in our automated environment.

Our employees are reflective of this unique history and cultural diversity of our region. In many of our positions, employees with bilingual skills are especially appreciated by our local communities.
