SF 86 is used for which type of positions?

• A. National Security Positions
• B. Public Trust Positions
• C. Nonsensitive Positions
• D. All positions

Answer: (A)

SF 86 is the questionnaire used to support a personnel security background investigation for national security positions. It collects detailed information about your history, finances, associations, and more to help determine your eligibility for a security clearance and access to classified information. Because only roles with such clearances require this level of investigation, the form is not used for nonsensitive positions or for all jobs. Public trust positions use different forms (such as SF-85P) for moderate-risk checks, and nonsensitive roles generally don’t require the SF 86.
