Eligibilities
1. Political Appointee - In the last five years, based on the closing date of this announcement, I have been or am currently an employee in the Executive Branch serving on a political, Schedule C, or Noncareer SES appointment.  If yes, and you are selected through this vacancy announcement, you may be required to obtain approval by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) prior to beginning employment.

A political appointee is an appointment made by the President without confirmation by the Senate (5 CFR 213.3102(c)) OR an Assistant position to a top-level Federal official if filled by a person designated by the President as a White House Fellow (5 CFR 213.3102(z)).  A Noncareer SES appointee is approved by the White House and serves at the pleasure of the appointing official without time limitations. A Schedule C appointee occupies a position excepted from the competitive service by the President, or by the Director, OPM, because of the confidential or policy-determining nature of the position duties.

NOTE: If you select "yes" in response to this question, you must submit official documentation from the agency (i.e., SF-50, Notification of Personnel Action).
