Qualifications

To qualify for this position, applicants must meet all requirements by the closing date of this announcement, 10/11/2023. Time-In-Grade Requirement: Applicants who are current Federal employees and have held a GS grade any time in the past 52 weeks must also meet time-in-grade requirements by the closing date of this announcement. For a GS-11 position you must have served 52 weeks at the GS-09. The grade may have been in any occupation, but must have been held in the Federal service. An SF-50 that shows your time-in-grade eligibility must be submitted with your application materials. If the most recent SF-50 has an effective date within the past year, it may not clearly demonstrate you possess one-year time-in-grade, as required by the announcement. In this instance, you must provide an additional SF-50 that clearly demonstrates one-year time-in-grade. You may qualify based on your experience and/or education as described below: GS-11 Specialized Experience: You must have one year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the next lower grade GS-09 in the normal line of progression for the occupation in the organization. Examples of specialized experience would typically include, but are not limited to: Detailed, intensive knowledge of government budgetary policies, precedents, goals, objectives, regulations and guidelines of the Department of Veterans Affairs and CITC to work with the programs assigned; analyzing and evaluating the effects of changes in program plans and funding; applying the principles, practices and methods of budget execution to determine whether obligations, expenditures, and allotments are within approved budget limitations; and extensive knowledge of computerized programs such as the Integrated Funds Distribution, Control Point Activities, Accounting and Procurement (IFCAP) system, PAID, Fee Basis Consult System (FRCS) and other systems in the evaluation of needs and trends to ensure that funds are utilized in accordance to guidelines and regulations. OR; GS-11 Education: Applicants may substitute education for the required experience. To qualify based on education for this grade level you must have a PhD. or equivalent doctoral degree or 3 full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree or LL.M.,if related. OR; GS-11 Combination of Education and Experience: Applicants may substitute a combination of graduate education and specialized experience to qualify for grade GS-11. If you have some, but not all, of the graduate education described above AND less than one full year of the specialized experience described above, you may qualify by combining the amount of creditable education and experience that you do have. Only graduate education in excess of the amount required for the next lower grade level may be used to qualify applicants for positions at grade GS-11. To calculate, first identify the education you have earned beyond your first two years of study as a percentage of a total of three years of study. Then identify the number of months of specialized experience you have as a percentage of 12 months. Add the two percentages. The total must equal at least 100 percent in order to be qualifying. For example, an applicant who has 45 semester hours of graduate level education (i.e, 50% of graduate education required beyond the first two years) and who has 6 months of creditable specialized experience (i.e., 50% of the one year of specialized experience required) would meet 100% and thus be qualified for the position. You will be rated on the following Competencies for this position: ComplianceComputer SkillsCustomer Service (Clerical/Technical)Data ManagementDatabase Management SystemsFinancial Management Note: Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religions; spiritual; community; student; social).

You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Note: A full year of work is considered to be 35-40 hours of work per week.
