Job Title in Announcement:   Announcement Number:

Section 231 of the Crime Control Act 1990, Public Law 101-647, requires that employment applications for Federal child care positions contain a question asking whether the individual has ever been arrested for or charged with a crime involving a child and for the disposition of the arrest or charge.

Section 408 of the Miscellaneous Indian Legislation, Public Law 101-630, contains a related requirement for positions in the Department of Health and Human Services that involve regular contact with or control over Indian children. The agency must ensure that persons hired for these positions have not been found guilty of or pleaded nolo contendere or guilty to certain crimes.

To assure compliance with the above laws, the following questions are added to the Declaration for Federal Employment:

1) Have you ever been arrested for or charged with a crime involving a child?

If YES, provide the date, explanation of the violation, disposition of the arrest or charge, place of occurrence, and the name and address of the police department or court involved.

2) Have you ever been found guilty of, or entered a plea of nolo contendere (no contest) or guilty to, any felonious or misdemeanor offense under Federal, State, or tribal law involving crimes of violence; sexual assault, molestation, exploitation, contact or prostitution; or crimes against persons; or offenses committed against children?

If YES, provide the date, explanation of the violation, disposition of the arrest or charge, place of occurrence, and the name and address of the police department or court involved.

I certify that (1) my response to these questions is made under penalty of perjury, which is punishable by fines of up to $2,000 or 5 years imprisonment, or both; and (2) I have received notice that a criminal check will be conducted. I understand my right to obtain a copy of any criminal history report made available to the Indian Health Service and my right to challenge the accuracy and completeness of any information contained in the report.

What the Addendum to Declaration for Federal Employment Is

The Addendum to Declaration for Federal Employment is a supplemental statement attached to an existing federal employment declaration or personnel record that documents changes, clarifications, or additional disclosures relevant to a candidate’s or employee’s federal hiring file. It records updates such as new or corrected personal data, changes in eligibility or conflict-of-interest disclosures, corrections to prior statements, or supplemental information requested during onboarding or security clearance processing. The addendum becomes part of the official personnel record and should be completed and retained in accordance with federal and agency-specific retention rules.

Why an Addendum Matters for Federal Hiring Records

An addendum preserves a clear, dated record of material updates to a declaration, reducing disputes and ensuring personnel files remain accurate for security and payroll decisions.

Why an Addendum Matters for Federal Hiring Records

Who Completes and Receives This Addendum

The addendum is completed by the employee or applicant and routed to the hiring agency’s human resources, security, or personnel office depending on the change.

  • Employees and applicants who need to update prior disclosures or correct errors in their federal declaration forms.
  • Agency HR, personnel security, and hiring managers who maintain the official personnel or suitability record.
  • Contracting officers or central personnel offices when addenda affect eligibility, clearance, or contract assignments.

Routing and custody depend on agency policy; always confirm the receiving office and any additional documentation required before submission.

Step-by-Step: Completing the Addendum

Follow these steps to prepare and submit a correct addendum.

  • 01
    Gather documents: Collect IDs and original declaration for reference.
  • 02
    Complete fields: Enter requested data using the field guide formats.
  • 03
    Sign and date: Apply a valid signature and today's date.
  • 04
    Submit: Send to the specified agency office or upload per instructions.

How to Configure an Online Addendum Workflow

Set up a repeatable electronic workflow so addenda route automatically to the correct agency recipients.

Template Create a reusable addendum template with required fields.
Signer roles Assign roles for applicant, HR reviewer, and security official.
Routing order Define sequential or parallel routing to stakeholders.
Authentication Choose email/SMS or stronger multi-factor methods.
Reminders Enable automatic reminders to reduce delays.

Where to Send the Completed Addendum

The destination depends on the reason for the addendum and agency policy; confirm routing before submission.

  • Hiring Agency HR: Primary recipient for personnel data updates and payroll.
  • Personnel Security Office: Receives changes affecting clearances or background checks.
  • Contracting Office: For contractor employees, send to the contract administrator.
  • Central Records: Some agencies require a copy in the official personnel file.

Digital Signing and Submission Considerations

Confirm that your chosen eSignature platform supports required authentication and retention for federal records before submitting electronically.

  • File formats: PDF and DOCX are standard and widely accepted.
  • Authentication: Use email, SMS, or MFA as required by agency policy.
  • Security: Ensure TLS and AES-256 encryption are in place.

Retain a signed copy with the audit trail and store it according to retention rules to demonstrate authenticity and reproduce the record if required.

Timing: When to Prepare and Submit an Addendum

Timely submission avoids processing delays and preserves eligibility; follow agency deadlines where specified.

On request:

Submit when the agency specifically requests an addendum.

Before start date:

Provide updates prior to your official start when possible.

Within 30 days:

Common agency guidance asks for changes within 30 days of occurrence.

During background checks:

Disclose new information immediately to security personnel.

For benefits:

Submit before benefit effective dates to avoid gaps.

Common Errors to Avoid When Preparing an Addendum

  • Leaving key fields blank or using initials instead of full legal names, which creates identity mismatches.
  • Entering inconsistent dates or formats that lead to processing errors or misapplied effective dates.
  • Failing to sign with a legally recognized signature method or omitting the date, which can void the addendum.
  • Routing the form to the wrong office or failing to attach required supporting documents, causing unnecessary delays.

Consequences of Incorrect or Fraudulent Addenda

Perjury risk: False statements can expose the signer to administrative or criminal penalties.
Clearance impact: Incorrect disclosures may delay, suspend, or revoke security clearances.
Employment action: Material misstatements can lead to disciplinary measures or termination.
Payroll issues: Wrong SSNs or tax data may trigger payroll corrections or withholding.
Record rejection: Noncompliant signatures or formats may be rejected and require resubmission.
Legal exposure: Improper handling of sensitive data can create privacy or statutory liability.

Key Information Typically Required on the Addendum

Full name: Enter legal name
SSN or TIN: Nine-digit number
Date of birth: MM/DD/YYYY
Agency/office: Hiring entity
Nature of update: Concise description
Signature/date: Signer and execution date

Real-World Use Cases for an Addendum

Practical examples show how the addendum resolves common record updates without reopening full hiring files.

Agency HR Update

An applicant corrects a previously submitted birth date to match supporting ID

  • The HR office updates the personnel record and re-runs identity verification
  • The correction prevents payroll mismatches and reduces future re-verification steps by preserving continuity in the official file and audit trail.

Security Clearance Change

A cleared employee discloses a new foreign travel history after initial submission

  • Security staff record the additional detail via an addendum
  • This update documents the change for adjudicators, supports continuous evaluation, and avoids reopening the original investigation unless material adverse information is identified.
