Investigations Process
Questions and answers
Each federal agency or department to which an individual applies is responsible for making the appropriate access, fitness, suitability and/or clearance determination for any position for which the person is being considered. Therefore, it will be up to the hiring agency to decide the impact the DUI has on the hiring decision.
If asked on any Federal application or background investigation document, the DUI must be reported.
