OGE FORM 278 (PUBLIC FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE REPORT) (December 2011 Edition: Previous editions are no longer authorized.)   The OGE 278 is provided below in two versions, suited to individuals with different reporting requirements. Please read the instructions fully before choosing the appropriate form for your own needs.

• OGE 278 (includes Supervisor Certification)
• OGE 278 (Political Appointees Confirmed by the Senate and Termination Filers)
• OGE 278 Instructions

• Annual Post-Employment Certification:  Subsection 8-400 of DoD 5500.07-R, Joint Ethics Regulation, requires members of the Department of Defense who file a public financial disclosure report (OGE 278) to certify each year that they are aware of the restrictions that three statutes place on them during Federal service when negotiating employment, and after departing Federal service. They must also certify that they have not knowingly violated these statutes. This Annual Post-Employment Certification accomplishes that task.  It also meets the required notification to senior officials of post-Government employment restrictions under 18 U.S.C. Section 207.

OGE FORM 450 (CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE REPORT)

• (December 2011 Edition) (Electronically Fillable with Automatic Generation of Continuation Pages).   Supervisors and reviewers hold a legal obligation to fully review the financial disclosure reports of their employees. It is critical that you read through the instructions for each part of the report, gather your financial records, and then fill out the form. You are responsible for ensuring that the information you submit is complete and correct before submitting it to your supervisor for review.  
  
  IMPORTANT: Do not send your completed OGE Form 450 directly to the SOCO Office. Your agency is responsible for reviewing each report for administrative sufficiency (proper position titles, phone numbers, completed entries and proper signatures) for each of their employees. Contact your agency administrative office to obtain the correct address for distribution or mailing of your form.
