OGE Form 450

IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ BEFORE ACCESSING OR DOWNLOADING FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE REPORT FORMS

The financial disclosure report forms, both the OGE Form 450 and the SF 278, are provided below in various versions that are suited to individuals with different reporting requirements. Please read the instructions fully before choosing the appropriate form for your own needs.


Confidential Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form 450)

IMPORTANT: Please do not send your completed OGE Form 450 to OGE. Your agency, not OGE, is responsible for reviewing and maintaining the forms for its employees. Contact your agency ethics official to obtain the correct address for mailing your form.

Provided below are two enhanced versions of our electronically fillable OGE Form 450 PDF form. One version meets the accessibility requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998 (Section 508). The second version is a non-accessible version of the electronically fillable OGE Form 450 PDF form. The programming for both versions of these electronically fillable forms has been revised to allow users to insert more information in various data fields, generate automatically unlimited additional pages for Part I, Parts II and III, and Parts IV and V (only available in the non-accessible version), and save and reuse a completed form without having to purchase Adobe Acrobat software. Through our purchase of special licensing and software from Adobe, users can now save a completed form and generate unlimited additional pages by using the latest version of the Adobe Reader, Version 7.0, which is available for free from the Adobe website (www.adobe.com).

Note: Part V. The reporting threshold for gifts and travel reimbursements received from one source has been further increased, applicable as of January 1, 2008, to more than $335, with a $134 or less de minimis aggregation exception (see OGE DAEOgram DO-08-010 (PDF-HTML-TXT) of March 25, 2008 for more details on this change. OGE will revise the OGE Form 450 in the future to reflect this change.

OGE Form 450 - Electronically Fillable Non-accessible PDF Version of OGE Form 450 (2008)

IMPORTANT:
Although this version of the form is capable of accepting digital signatures, OGE has not authorized any agency to accept forms with digital signatures except those participating in an OGE-approved pilot program. Each filer must place an actual signature on the form and submit a paper copy of the form. In the future we hope to authorize the use of digital signatures and for that reason designed the form for this future use.

Filers will notice that the form has been substantially revised. It is critical that you read through the entire form, gather your financial records that contain the information requested by the form, and then fill out the form.

This revised PDF version of the form has been programmed by OGE to be filled in electronically through the use of the Adobe Reader Version 7.0 and then printed. Users may now use either the free Adobe Reader Version 7.0 software or Adobe Acrobat software in order to electronically save completed PDF versions of the OGE Form 450 or to generate additional pages.

This revised, accessible PDF version of the form has been programmed by OGE to be filled in electronically through the use of the Adobe Reader Version 7.0 and then printed. Users may now use either the free Adobe Reader Version 7.0 software or Adobe Acrobat software in order to electronically save completed PDF versions of the OGE Form 450. Due to constraints of screen reader software, some automated features, such as automatic generation of continuation pages, are not available in this version. Instead, we have created three separate files (listed above) that represent the continuation pages for Part I, Parts II and III, and Parts IV and V. Filers can save as many copies as necessary of these files.

Due to accessibility issues with the Adobe Reader Version 8.0 software, vision-impaired users may have difficulty completing the OGE Form 450 using that version of Adobe. Please use Adobe Reader Version 7.0 or an earlier version.
