The SF 85P will be used by the Federal Government in conducting background investigations and reinvestigations of persons under consideration for, or retention of, public trust positions. The SF 85PS is supplemental to the SF 85P and is used only after an offer of employment has been made.

Public Trust is a type of background investigation, but it is not a security clearance. Depending on the job, you must complete either the Standard Form 85 (SF85) or 85P (SF85P) questionnaire.

Tier 5 – Top Secret Security Clearance As the highest level of security clearance, applicants can expect a more rigorous examination. If approved, this clearance gives cleared personnel access to information or material that could cause disastrous damage to national security.

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.
