OGE450
Confidential Financial Disclosure Report - Executive Branch
OGE Form 450 is the Confidential Financial Disclosure Report for the Executive Branch. It is a U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) form, dated 08/2024, issued under 5 CFR Part 2634, Subpart I, with OMB No. 3209-0006 and an expiration date of 08/31/2027. GSA hosts it in its forms library, and GSA's page links to the PDF in OGE's forms library.
The form says its purpose is to assist employees and their agencies in avoiding conflicts between official duties and private financial interests or affiliations. It is filed by employees in positions designated for filing, either as new entrants or as annual filers, and it is reviewed by agency officials.
After a cover page with Yes or No statements, the report has Part I Assets and Income, Part II Liabilities, Part III Outside Positions, Part IV Agreements or Arrangements and Part V Gifts and Travel Reimbursements, plus continuation pages and a page of examples. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
Employee's name, e-mail, position or title, grade, agency, branch or unit and address, work phone, reporting status, date of appointment for a new entrant, the SGE box, and Yes or No statements I.a, I.b, II, III, IV and V.
Assets held for investment that ended the reporting period with a value greater than $1,000, and sources of earned income, honoraria and other non-investment income greater than $1,000. A Do Not Report list includes the Thrift Savings Plan and checking or savings accounts.
Liabilities that exceeded $10,000, with the creditor's name, city and state and the type of liability. The form excludes items such as a mortgage, a student loan or a credit card account granted on terms made available to the general public.
Positions outside the Federal Government held during the reporting period, paid or not, such as officer, director, trustee or consultant. Positions with religious, social, fraternal or political entities are on the Do Not Report list.
Continuing participation in a current or former employer's pension or benefit plan, a leave of absence, future employment and continuation of payment such as severance, with the entity and the terms.
For annual filers only: gifts or travel reimbursements totaling more than $480 from any one source. The form says to ignore each item valued at $192 or less, and that these amounts apply to calendar years 2023 to 2025.
Step 1 on the cover page says to read the instructions for Parts I through V. Each part lists what to report and what not to report, with examples.
Step 2 says to check Yes or No for each statement. The form says Statement V is for annual filers only and does not apply to new entrants and SGEs.
Step 3 says that for any statement marked Yes, the reportable interests are described in the matching Part I, II, III, IV or V. Entries for a spouse or dependent child may start with (S) or (DC).
Part I says not to report account or Social Security numbers or names of family members. A No longer held column marks items such as stock sold during the period, as the examples show.
Step 4 says to sign and date the form. The employee certifies that the statements are true, complete, and correct to the best of their knowledge.
Step 5 says to submit the completed form to your ethics office. Reviewing officials then sign the reviewers' section and may add comments.
You get the real form, filled in a browser tab, with nothing standing between you and the finished PDF.
To your ethics office, as Step 5 says. The burden notice gives an OGE address for comments only and says: Do not send your completed OGE Form 450 to this address.
New entrants: within 30 days of assuming a position designated for filing, unless the agency requests it earlier or grants an extension. Annual filers: no later than February 15, unless the agency grants an extension.
New entrants report assets, liabilities and agreements as of the date of filing, and income and positions for the preceding 12 months. Annual filers report the preceding calendar year.
OGE estimates that completing the form, including reviewing the instructions and gathering the data needed, takes an average of three hours.
The Privacy Act Statement cites 5 U.S.C. § 13109, Executive Order 12674 and 5 CFR Part 2634, Subpart I. It says the report will not be disclosed to any requesting person unless authorized by law.
Falsification of information or failure to file or report may lead to disciplinary action by the employing agency or other authority, and knowing and willful falsification may also lead to criminal prosecution.
The form's instructions name these filers and reviewers.
