Other than youthful age, what are their qualifications?

What is their knowledge and experience with say, Medicare/medicaid, or any type of Insurance or insurance regulations? Or the VA?
Or say Social Security, or any other government program, like I dunno, USPS, transportation, education, labor issues?

How 'bout kitchen table stuff? taxes, wages, day care, housing?

Is this a learn on the job type of thing? Do they have initiatives? Is their staff gonna be all youth too, no party veterans ?
