Program for the Employment of Individuals with Disabilities

Our Mission

Public Debt's mission is to borrow money needed to operate the federal government and to account for the resulting public debt. Our function is to conduct Treasury's debt finance and accounting operations through the sale of U.S. savings bonds and Treasury notes, bonds, and bills. Currently, Public Debt employs nearly 2,000 individuals in a variety of occupational fields related to computers, management, finance, accounting and marketing. The majority of employees are located in our office in Parkersburg, WV. We also have offices located in Washington, D.C.

The Program

The federal government has a special employment program for individuals with disabilities. Through this special program, Public Debt will accept applications from qualified disabled individuals for any job vacancy announced with the Area of Consideration listed as "All Status."

Current Vacancies

Candidates who are interested in learning about current Public Debt job opportunities have several options:

  • Access electronic information via computer to obtain employment information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through USA Jobs.
  • Contact the Rehabilitation Services Office. A counselor may assist in locating a vacancy that fits particular skills, abilities, and career goals.
  • Use a touch-tone phone to dial (304) 480-6144 to access a recorded listing of current job opportunities.

Public Debt's All Status vacancies are typically posted for a minimum of 14 calendar days, although there may be some exceptions. Checking announcements once a week is normally sufficient to keep apprised of new or continuing vacancy announcements.
