QUESTIONNAIRE FOR 

PUBLIC TRUST POSITIONS

Form approved: 

OMB No. 3206 0258 

Page 1

This form will be used by the United States (U.S.) Government in conducting 

background investigations and reinvestigations of persons under 

consideration for, or retention of, public trust positions as defined in 5 CFR 

731. This form may also be used by agencies in determining whether a 

subject performing work for, or on behalf of, the Government under a contract 

should be deemed eligible for logical or physical access when duties to be 

performed by an employee of a contractor are equivalent to the duties 

performed by an employee in a public trust position. For applicants, this form 

is to be used only after a conditional offer of employment has been made. 

This form is not to be used for National Security sensitive positions. 

Providing this information is voluntary. If you do not provide each item of 

requested information, however, we will not be able to complete your 

investigation, which will adversely affect your eligibility for a public trust 

position or your ability to obtain or retain Federal or contract employment, or 

logical or physical access. It is imperative that the information provided be 

true and accurate, to the best of your knowledge. Any information that you 

provide is evaluated on the basis of its currency, seriousness, relevance to 

the position and duties, and consistency with all other information about you. 

Withholding, misrepresenting, or falsifying information may affect your 

eligibility for a public trust position, or your ability to obtain or retain Federal or 

contract employment. In addition, withholding, misrepresenting, or falsifying 

information may affect your eligibility for physical and logical access to 

federally controlled facilities or information systems. Withholding, 

misrepresenting, or falsifying information may also negatively affect your 

employment prospects and job status, and the potential consequences 

include, but are not limited to, removal, debarment from Federal service, or 

prosecution. 

This form is a permanent document that may be used as the basis for future 

investigations, suitability or fitness for Federal employment, fitness for 

contract employment, or eligibility for physical and logical access to federally 

controlled facilities or information systems. Your responses to this form may 

be compared with your responses to previous SF 85P questionnaires. 

The investigation conducted on the basis of information provided on this form 

may be selected for studies and analyses in support of evaluating and 

improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the investigative and 

adjudicative methodologies. All study results released to the general public 

will delete personal identifiers such as name, social security number, and date 

and place of birth. 

Purpose of this Form

Follow instructions completely or your form will be unable to be processed. If 

you have any questions, contact the office that provided you the form. 

Some investigations will include an interview with you as a routine part of the 

investigative process. The investigator may ask you to explain your answers 

to any question on this form. This provides you the opportunity to update, 

clarify, and explain information on your form more completely, which often 

assists in completing your investigation. It is imperative that the interview be 

conducted as soon as possible after you are contacted. Postponements will 

delay the processing of your investigation, and declining to be interviewed 

may result in your investigation being delayed or canceled. 

For the interview, you will be required to provide photo identification, such as 

a valid state driver's license. You may be required to provide other documents 

to verify your identity, as instructed by your investigator. These documents 

may include certification of any legal name change, Social Security card, 

passport, and/or your birth certificate. You may also be asked to provide 

documents regarding information that you provide on this form, or about other 

matters requiring specific attention. These matters include (a) alien 

registration or naturalization documents; (b) delinquent loans or taxes, 

bankruptcies, judgments, liens, or other financial obligations; (c) agreements 

involving child custody or support, alimony, or property settlements; (d) 

arrests, convictions, probation, and/or parole; or (e) other matters described 

in court records.

Your Personal Interview

Background investigations for public trust positions are conducted to gather 

information to determine whether you are reliable, trustworthy, of good 

conduct and character, and loyal to the U.S. The information that you provide 

on this form and your Declaration for Federal Employment (OF 306) may be 

confirmed during the investigation. The investigation may extend beyond the 

time covered by this form, when necessary to resolve issues. Your current 

employer may be contacted as part of the investigation, although you may 

have previously indicated on applications or other forms that you do not want 

your current employer to be contacted. If you have a security freeze on your 

consumer or credit report file, then we may not be able to complete your 

investigation, which can adversely affect your eligibility for a public trust 

position or your ability to obtain Federal or contract employment. To avoid 

such delays, you must request that the consumer reporting agencies lift the 

freeze in these instances. 

In addition to the questions on this form, inquiry also is made about your 

adherence to security requirements your honesty and integrity, falsification, 

misrepresentation, and any other behavior, activities, or associations that 

tend to demonstrate a person is not reliable, trustworthy, or loyal. 

After a suitability /fitness determination is made, you may also be subject to 

continuous vetting which may include periodic reinvestigations to ensure your 

continuing suitability for employment. 

The Investigative Process

Depending upon the purpose of your investigation, the U.S. Government is 

authorized to ask for this information under Executive Orders, 13764, 10577, 

13467, and 13488; sections 3301, 3302, 7301, and 9101 of title 5, United 

States Code (U.S.C.); parts 2, 5, 731, and 736 of title 5, Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), and Federal information processing standards. 

Your Social Security Number (SSN) is needed to identify records unique to 

you. Although disclosure of your SSN is not mandatory, failure to disclose 

your SSN may prevent or delay the processing of your background 

investigation. The authority for soliciting and verifying your SSN is Executive 

Order 9397, as amended by EO 13478. 

Your spouse's SSN is needed solely to allow the investigative service 

provider to make inquiries regarding whether there is relevant conduct on 

your part as a result of your relationship with your spouse. Your spouse is not 

subject of the investigation. 

Authority to Request this Information

All questions on this form must be answered completely and truthfully in 

order that the Government may make the determinations described below on 

a complete record. Penalties for inaccurate or false statements are discussed 

below. If you are a current civilian employee of the federal government: 

failure to answer any questions completely and truthfully could result in an 

adverse personnel action against you, including loss of employment; with 

respect to Sections 21, 25, and 27, however, neither your truthful responses 

nor information derived from those responses will be used as evidence 

against you in a subsequent criminal proceeding. 

Note: If you complete the SF 85P, an Authorization for Release of Medical 

Information Pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability 

Act (HIPAA) will be provided to you only in the event information arises in an 

investigation that requires further inquiry for resolution, and only to resolve 

such issues. This release authorizes an investigator to ask your health 

practitioner(s) only the questions specified on the release concerning mental 

health consultations of which the practitioner might be aware. If you are 

completing the SF 85P with the supplemental SF 85P-S, this release will be 

provided to you if you respond "yes" to the question regarding Your Medical 

Record. You may also be asked to complete a specific release if more 

detailed information is needed from your provider.

Final Determination on Your Suitability

Final determination on your suitability for a public trust position is the 

responsibility of the Office of Personnel Management or the Federal agency 

that requested your investigation. You may be provided the opportunity to 

explain, refute, or clarify any information before a final decision is made. The 

United States Government does not discriminate on the basis of prohibited 

categories, including but not limited to race, color, religion, sex (including 

pregnancy and gender identity), national origin, disability, or sexual orientation 

when making determinations of suitability for a public trust position. 

Penalties for Inaccurate or False Statements

The U.S. Criminal Code (title 18, section 1001) provides that knowingly 

falsifying or concealing a material fact is a felony which may result in fines 

and/or up to five (5) years imprisonment. In addition, Federal agencies 

generally fire, or disqualify individuals who have materially and deliberately 

falsified these forms, and this remains a part of the permanent record for 

future placements. Your prospects of placement are better if you answer all 

questions truthfully and completely. You will have adequate opportunity to 

explain any information you provide on this form and to make your comments 

part of the record.

your records will be maintained. The information you provide on this form, 

and information collected during an investigation, may be disclosed without 

your consent by an agency maintaining the information in a system of records 

as permitted by the Privacy Act [5 U.S.C. 552a(b)], and by routine uses, a list 

of which are published by the agency in the Federal Register. The office that

If you answered “Yes” to Section 5 of the Standard Form 85P with the supplemental SF 85P-S, carefully read this authorization to release 

information about you, then sign and date. 

This is an authorization for the investigator to ask your health practitioner (s) the questions below concerning your mental health consultations. 

The U.S. government recognizes the critical importance of mental health and advocates proactive management of mental health conditions to 

support the wellness and recovery of Federal employees and others. The government recognizes that mental health counseling and treatment 

may provide important support for those who have experienced traumatic events, as well as for those with other mental health conditions. 

While most individuals with mental health conditions do not present risks, there may be times when such a condition can affect a person’s 

suitability for positions of public trust with the Federal government. Seeking or receiving mental health care for personal wellness and recovery 

may contribute favorably to your suitability determination. Your signature will allow the practitioner (s) to answer only those questions identified 

below. 

Authorization

I am seeking assignment to or retention in a public trust position. As part of the investigation process, I hereby authorize the investigator, 

special agent, or duly accredited representative of the authorized Federal agency conducting my background investigation, reinvestigation, 

and my health practitioner (s) to provide the information requested below, relating to my mental health consultations. 

In accordance with HIPAA, I understand that I have the right to revoke this authorization at any time by writing to my health care provider/

entity. I understand that I may revoke this authorization, except to the extent that action has already been taken based on this authorization. 

Further, I understand that this authorization is voluntary. My treatment, payment, enrollment in a health plan, or eligibility for benefits will not be 

conditioned upon my authorization of this disclosure. 

I understand the information disclosed pursuant to this authorization is for use by the Federal Government only for purposes provided in the 

Standard Form 85P and will no longer be subject to the HIPAA Privacy Rule, and that the Federal Government may redisclose the information 

as authorized by law, subject to Privacy Act safeguards. 

Photocopies of this authorization with my signature are valid. This authorization is valid for one (1) year from the date signed or upon 

termination of my affiliation with the Federal Government, whichever is sooner.

Disclosure

One or more reports from consumer reporting agencies may be obtained for employment purposes pursuant to the Fair Credit 

Reporting Act, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. 

Purpose

The information obtained may be disclosed to other Federal agencies for the above purposes in fulfillment of official

conducting my initial background investigation and reinvestigation, or my eligibility for a public trust position, to request, and any 

consumer reporting agency to provide, such reports for purposes described above. 

Note: If you have a security freeze on your consumer or credit report file, we will not be able to access the information
