Suitability Adjudications

Questions and answers

Yes. If the hiring agency requests an individual fill out the form, they must complete the form in its entirety. The OF 306 form is used by agencies, in part, to begin the assessment of the individual’s acceptability for Federal employment. It is important the individual answers the questions truthfully and completely. If the individual responds “yes” to any of the questions that ask about their background information, the circumstances of the event will be considered and in most cases the individual can still be considered for Federal jobs. However, making false statements may be grounds for not hiring or terminating the appointment of an individual, and may also be punished by fine or imprisonment.
