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.
Public Financial Disclosure Report (SF 278)
Provided below are two enhanced versions of our electronically fillable SF-278 PDF form. One version meets the accessibility requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998 (Section 508). This version was programmed in a manner that makes it accessible to those persons with vision impairments. The second version is a non-accessible version of the electronically fillable SF-278 PDF form that does not use the current screen reader technology. 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 schedules (only available in the nonaccessible 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 schedules by using the latest version of the Adobe Reader, Version 6, which is available for free from the Adobe website (www.adobe.com).
Important Note: It could take approximately 20 minutes to download the nonaccessible version of our electronically fillable SF-278 PDF form if the user does not have a high-speed Internet connection. Because this may be impractical for some users, we are providing a link on our website to a Department of Defense website that has an electronically fillable Microsoft Excel software version of the SF-278. This Excel version will take users less time to download but will require users to have Microsoft Excel on their computers to complete and save the form. It will not, however, have all the features of our enhanced nonaccessible version.
As other electronically fillable versions of the SF-278 form become known to us and are posted on the Internet, we will provide links on our website to agency websites that have the form. Users may then choose the electronic version that they find most suitable to them.
Notes:
- Printed copies are currently available through the General Services Administration Customer Supply Centers.

- Instrs., Privacy Act Statement. There are now three additional routine uses as well as those listed on the SF 278 form (see OGE DAEOgram DO-03-015 (PDF-HTML-TXT) of August 25, 2003 (p.2) for more details on the new uses. In addition, earlier in 2003 OGE also revised the underlying sixth listed routine use, as summarized for the form to read as follows: "to the Department of Justice or in certain legal proceedings when the disclosing agency, an employee of the disclosing agency, or the United States is a party to litigation or has an interest in the litigation and the use of such records is deemed relevant and necessary to the litigation". The Privacy Act Statement on p.11 of the form instructions has not yet been so updated, but OGE will do so in a future edition of the form.
- Sch. B, Part II. The SF 278 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 reflect this change in a future addition of the form.
