I applied online. I interviewed at Social Security Administration (Woodlawn, MD) in Feb 2012
Interview
Apply online USA jobs and took 1 year. OPM phone interview, then 2nd Phone interview, panel interview, department interview and 1 peer interview. I would suggest going on SSA.gov and reading and learning everything you can about current changes in SSA law, the number of people SSA services.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Social Security Administration (New Brunswick, NJ) in Apr 2011
Interview
The interview was long and lengthy. I had to interview on the phone 2 times before being able to interview in front of a group setting. My veteran status put me on top of the list but there was a GPA requirement of 3.5/ which made me not eligible..
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Social Security Administration (Boston, MA) in Jun 2008
Interview
I already worked for the agency when I applied for this job as a promotion. Thus, I only had a telephone interview. The process still took a long time because the hiring process at this agency is extremely slow.
Not that I wanted the interview to be excruciatingly hard, but I felt that the interview was too short for them to have a good sense of who I was. I more felt like they just asked a list of questions without really paying attention to my answers.

Question 1
Can I compute a "WEP PIA" by hand? - This was most unexpected as I was not interviewing for a T2 job; I was interviewing for a T16 job even though I can definitely do T2 comps by hand!
