The Steps to Processing Federal Security Packages

 

If the applicant does not have a favorable current/previous security investigation on file, follow the steps below:

  • Workforce Management (WFM) must invite applicant into NBIS/eAPP
  • WFM needs to verify the PII inputted into NBIS/eAPP
    (Examples: those who had previous NBIS/eAPP done by DoD – information needs to be updated)
  • WFM must review NBIS/eAPP and upload all required documents:
  • Position Details and Financial Details tabs on NBIS must be completed by WFM – TAS.
  • Prints need to be mailed to Security Office or uploaded to NBIS.

Responses from our office about fingerprints:

  • You will not receive an email about prints clearing.
  • You will only receive a phone call from us if there are issues.
  • When the NBIS/eAPP has been released it means the prints are cleared.

NOTE! It is a violation of security policy to send PII over unsecured email. Documents with PII can sent to us via Accellion, the Department's secure file transmission site. Kiteworks is located at: https://sft2.doc.gov.   PII material can also be physically mailed to us at:
