If a material, intentional falsification, deception or fraud issue is
developed during an NBIB investigation, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will contact the agency to
coordinate the adjudication. OPM may assume jurisdiction after
discussing the case with the agency. If an agency feels an NBIB investigation developed a material, intentional falsification, deception or fraud issue that should have been adjudicated by OPM but
was not, it may contact
OPM's Suitability Adjudications to request a second review of the case.
