I wrote that. It is an information release form. It also states on it that for military veterans it will also include the release of our military medical records. I don't know why you guys are making a big deal anyway. Is thier something in your medical records that can disqualify you????

Thanks RTOMan and Snowblock. Some of this guys still quite don't understand the job title they are applying for will require the city to have a COMPLETE history (both medical and background) on them. They still don't realize that this isn't a private sector job they are applying too. I'm pretty sure if you have had any type of surgery in the past you can bet they will be requesting those records...

No it really isn't. Depends on what type of job you are applying for and agency. Certain jobs have medical requirements that you must meet. That's why they have you sign a release form. The drug testing is also part of your medical records. So if you ever failed a drug test they will now. That's why they asked if you ever took or failed a DOT drug test. They can request those documents.

I would guess. It says " authorize the release to City of New York of ANY information required in order to establish my eligibility". In my case it will include my military medical records as well.

The background check also includes the release of past medical records. When you get your 21 page booklet read the release form you will have to sign..

Well my 21 page background history booklet is completed. Time to just wait for the phonecall to come back for the medical...

I just got home. Got there this morning at about 0630 and was out by 0845. I managed to be the first in line when I got upstairs. Now to get started on this 21 page booklet... Is it me or does the 5th floor remind you of the DMV lol. I'm just sitting thier looking at the board waiting till they call my number....

Based on the pre interview booklet that they send with the letter they go back 10yrs. I of course don't remember exact hire dates so I just list the month/year. Yes they do need salary and job description.

I don't see why any of these would be an issue. Your $50 ticket sound more like a violation than a misdeamor which sound not be all that serious. Just make sure you list all 3 of these in your background booklet.

I have a question. Is it possible to complete the hiring process in 1 day (Drug, medical, hearing and the interview to go over your final paperwork and get sworn in)?

I am in the mid 140's.

Nice just got home and opened my mailbox and thier it is . I have to report to 180 Livingston on Tuesday Oct 2nd at 0730 for drug/ medical testing.

They only want it if you had an out of state license within the past 3 years . They want you to bring a drivers abstract from that state.

I think it's because this exam was prior to the MTA taking over thier own exams so the city would still be responsible for it. Anything MTA exams after November 2011 DCAS no longer deals with.

I just called the DCAS automated line this morning. I'm in the mid 140's on Train Operator Exam 8098 list. I've been placed on an outstanding certification. My letter and anyone below me should be getting letters in the next few days to report to Livingston St to start the hiring process. Good luck to everyone. It's been a long wait.

That's pretty much how my current job is now and has been for the past 3 yrs. I never know what my days off are until my boss puts out the itineraries every Wednesday. I'm also on call 24/7 as an ops manager.

What list number are you?????

Yep this is sure true. I just saw on the NY Chief they just certified sections on the TSS' and ATD's list for hiring. Pretty soon it'll show what list numbers are certified for T/O postitions.

That's what I eventually figured later this evening.

I called during my lunch break. I was told the same by the lady I spoke too. They have the names and the list isn't terminated. The letters should be mailed out shortly. I just hope she is correct.

Ok that makes a little sense. I didn't know that. Maybe that's why DCAS no longer has the info for the exam. The list of names were handed over to the MTA and since DCAS no longer handles MTA exams they purge their system. That's may be why the lady told me to contact the MTA for info regarding 8098 this morning.

This post was what made me call DCAS this morning and suspect a computer glitch in the automated line. The list was established June 23, 2010 not on September 13, 2012. I still have my notice of results with my list number and the one I received last November saying I qualified based on my work experience/education.

I too called this morning and heard the same thing "8098 list has been terminated and can no longer be used to fill positions". I spoke to a lady and she told me to call 511 since DCAS no longer administers exams for the MTA. I told her that exam was administered by DCAS back in 2009. She said they no longer have information on it that I would have to call that number and select MTA on the menu. During my lunch break I'll give that number a call and see what is going on. This can't be right??? They havn't even started calling from 8098 and it's terminated?? My notice of results cardthat I received my list number on is dated June 23, 2010. That is when the list was established. It's only been little over 2yrs.

No it won't. Those are separate lists/different jobs. If you don't take station cleaner/station agent you'll just be skipped over on that list if you don't respond to the letter. Only if you get called for Train Operator and you get to the background check you'll just have to put down what civil service exams you took and if you were hired or not (ex: in your case it would probably be you turn down the station agent job and waited for the train operator position or they did not reach your list number yet).

Checked the chief today. Nothing yet on the list being certified...
