Declaration for Federal Employment

What it is

An employment-suitability declaration used in federal hiring. It is a separate form from the clearance questionnaires and asks its own questions on its own timescales.

What you do

Complete it for the hiring action. Answers here are compared against the questionnaire, so inconsistencies between the two are worth resolving before submission.

Also called
