Re: DOJ Honors Program 2019-2020
Anybody have any idea how long it takes to get the initial paperwork after accepting an offer? I know I’ve technically got the OCIJ job, but I’ll feel better when the whole process is finally complete.

I received a reimbursement in late December also. Also just got an email asking to confirm if I received it.

I know people ask about getting through the security clearance, but does anyone know of anyone who made it through the offer stage but actually DENIED because of the security check?

How did this go?Anonymous User wrote:Does anyone know the consequences of accepting an offer and then later reneging on that acceptance if something you can't refuse comes along? I imagine it's poor form, but are there any dire consequences?

Re: DOJ Honors Program 2019-2020
I'm not sure it'll come to that. OCIJ says that they're so backed up that the background check paperwork might not come until after we've already started and we might be on a background check waiver for our entire term.Anonymous User wrote:I know people ask about getting through the security clearance, but does anyone know of anyone who made it through the offer stage but actually DENIED because of the security check?

Re: DOJ Honors Program 2019-2020
It's bad. They made this clear during the interviews about the three year commitment. If you reneg on an acceptance or pull out before the three years are up, they notify future employers. My guess is it would also come up if you ever tried to work for the federal gov. again.Anonymous User wrote:How did this go?Anonymous User wrote:Does anyone know the consequences of accepting an offer and then later reneging on that acceptance if something you can't refuse comes along?

Did anyone notice that the SF-85p is now obsolete? Does that mean it all has to be through the SF-86? It looks like it went obsolete in November

I accepted and declined the offer within a week before starting any paperwork and background checks. Shouldn’t that be fine?

Re: DOJ Honors Program 2019-2020
probably. sorry i should clarify the notifying future employers thing i believe is if you start and leave before three years is up. Essentially if the future employer calls for a reference, they will say you left before your three year term is up.
It is possible I am misremembering my interview. If so, apologies for creating unneeded stress.

do any of you think that the covid-19 situation is going to affect Honors employment in any shape or form? Just asking because there have been some fears of that occurring in the private sector

From my understanding, it means that nothing in my e-QIP is immediately disqualifying and I’m cleared to start work. The full background investigation is still pending.Anonymous User wrote:whats a pre-employment waiver?Anonymous User wrote:Had some movement on my background check as well--my pre-employment waiver came through.
