I have an SF-85P renewal coming up next year, and I’m trying to figure out if I need to repeat previously reported information.
On my current SF-85P, under the employment section, I reported the following:
In 2015 (which will be 10 years ago by the time of renewal), I was terminated from federal employment while applying to another agency. During that process, I experienced discrimination and was offended by something the EEO Director said to me. In response, I made an offensive comment, which led to the FBI visiting my home for questioning. Nothing came of the investigation, and the statute of limitations has passed. I was never arrested or referred for prosecution.
In 2018 (which will be 7 years & 4 months ago at the time of renewal), I was terminated during my probation period.
Specifically, I’m confused about Sections 13A, 13B, and 13C.
In 2015, I was terminated from federal employment, but this was reported in my last SF-85P. Since this happened nearly 10 years ago, do I need to report it again? Section 13A asks for employment history from the past 7 years, so I believe this falls outside the timeline.
However, Section 13B asks about former federal employment not previously listed, and I’m unsure if I need to include that same federal job again, even though it’s outside the 7-year scope.
Lastly, Section 13C asks about employment-related issues within the last 7 years, such as terminations or other disciplinary actions. Since my termination was over 7 years ago, I assume I wouldn’t need to mention it here.
Could someone clarify how to handle this situation? Do I need to report the 2015 and 2018 termination anywhere in the SF-85P renewal?
