Investigative Request for Employment Data and Supervisor Information

Form INV 41. This is an agency-to-agency document. You do not normally receive it, and it is not an adverse action.

What it is

The form sent to a current or former employer to verify employment and identify supervisors. This is the mechanism behind "they contacted my old job".

What you do

Nothing. Listing employers accurately on the questionnaire is what makes this step go smoothly.

Also called

INV 41, INV-41, employment verification, supervisor check.

Where this comes from

OMB information collection 0705-0003 Named in the approved OMB collection for INV 40-44, which transferred from OPM to DCSA; OPM’s forms page no longer lists these.
