    Default Government Background Check

    I live in Virginia

    Does anyone know what standard forms the government need filled when working as a contractor for unclassified information technology position.

    I noticed OPM has 3 forms: SF 85, SF85 and SF86

    The first form does not check any police records. 2nd form asks for any issues in the last 7 years and 3rd form is more for security clearance.

    Can they ask for SF86 if the position does not require secret clearance. There is nothing classified about the data.

    I would expect the HR department with the agency involved to be able to tell you what forms are required.

    Or is it that they did tell you, and you don't want them to discover certain details about your background?

    they did not tell me. But it seems an SF-86 is a clearance form while SF-85 is background investigation.

    SF-85 goes back 7 years in criminal checks while SF-86 asks about any issues through life.

    I made an coherced alford plea in a false pretense felony case 15 years ago as prosecutor said before court they will file new charges if i won the case. I fell for the pressure trap they use and made it and could not withdraw it next day after i realized what an alford plea is. the agreement was for 12 months suspended sentence.

    This is the only issue i have and i restored all my rights from governor. Do you think any application for confidential or secre clearance might be rejected or they go back 10 years on the check.
