CBP Form 258 Financial Disclosure Report
Some positions within government agencies are qualified as national security positions because they involve the protection of the country from espionage or foreign aggression, or require regular access to or use of classified information. As a rule, individuals applying for these positions are subject to personal investigation. One question that such an investigation should answer is whether someone’s financial situation may cause them to act contrary to national security interests as a result of coercion, pressure or influence. The investigative agency answers that question based on a financial disclosure report known as CBP Form 258.
