Applying to CFPB / FTC with post-bar drug use?

Post by Anonymous User » Fri May 12, 2023 10:43 pm

Title pretty much says it all. My understanding is that for DOJ, post-bar drug usage renders your application a nonstarter if the usage falls within the time period you have to disclose on the SF-86. Assume I’m interested in working at an agency like CFPB, FTC, OCC in the future. Do those agencies approach post-bar drug use in the same way as DOJ, or are they more lenient?

For the FTC and prior marijuana use (not sure about anything else), you have to fill out extra paperwork confirming that you understand it’s illegal and you won’t use it in the future, as well as answer additional questions during your background check interview.
