SF-85, for example, requests information regarding illegal drug use, supplying, possession, or manufacture in the last year. Other more sensitive forms request more extensive information on illegal drug activity, possibly extending back for seven to ten years. Credit checks are also done routinely.
Some investigations may include an interview with you as needed as part of the investigative process. The investigator may ask you to explain your answers to any question on this form.
In the SF85 all the threshold questions regarding drugs are only 1-year questions. Applicants who previously only had to complete the SF85 will now have to answer all the drug questions in Section 12, covering the past 5 years or forever, if the drug use occurred while in a position of trust.
Purpose of this Form. The U.S. Government conducts background investigations to establish that applicants or incumbents either employed by the Government or working for the Government under contract, are suitable for the job. Information from this form is used primarily as the basis for this investigation.
This form is a permanent document that may be used as the basis for future investigations, suitability or fitness for Federal employment, fitness for contract employment, or eligibility for physical and logical access to federally controlled facilities or information systems.

An SF85P is usually for Moderate Risk Public Trust (MRPT) positions and can take some time to get through the system, including a personal interview. At the non defense agency where I work, my team all filled out our SF85P forms in Oct 2017. We all got ATO within 2 weeks, so weve been working ever since.
You will be asked to bring identification with your picture on it, such as a valid State drivers license, to the interview. There are other documents you may be asked to bring to verify your identity as well. These include documentation of any legal name change, Social Security card, and/or birth certificate.
