The Standard Form 171 (SF 171) is an application for federal employment, designed to gather comprehensive information from applicants. It covers general details such as personal identification, contact information, and previous federal civilian employment. The form also assesses an applicant's availability, including desired start date, lowest acceptable pay, geographic work preferences, and willingness to work various schedules (full-time, part-time, temporary, intermittent, weekends/shifts) and travel. Military service and veteran preference claims are a significant section, requiring detailed service dates, branch, discharge type, and specific veteran preference classifications (5-point or 10-point preference, which requires an additional SF 15 form). The SF 171 also collects extensive work experience, education, special skills, accomplishments, awards, job-related licenses/certificates, and language proficiencies. Background information queries cover citizenship, federal debt delinquency, and criminal history, including convictions, firings, or resignations due to problems. The application concludes with a signature, certification, and release of information, emphasizing the truthfulness of statements and potential consequences of false information.

Standard Form 171-A is a continuation sheet for federal employment applications, serving as an extension for detailing an applicant's work experience. It requires information such as the immediate supervisor's name and phone number, the employer's organization and address, exact job title, and if applicable, federal employment series, grade, rank, and last promotion date. Applicants must describe their specific duties, responsibilities, accomplishments, and any supervised employees, including the percentage of time spent on different types of work. The form also asks for employment dates, average hours per week, number of employees supervised, starting and ending salaries, and the reason for leaving. It includes sections for agency use and specifies that all SF 171-A sheets should be attached to the main application. The document reiterates its status as an equal opportunity employer and provides form approval and revision details.
