Frequently asked questions

What is OGE-450?

OGE Form 450 is the Confidential Financial Disclosure Report required of federal executive-branch employees in positions designated for confidential filing under 5 CFR Part 2634, Subpart I. The report is filed with the employing agency, not published publicly. It covers positions at or below the public filing threshold, typically at the GS-15 level or below.

What is OGE-278?

OGE Form 278e is the Public Financial Disclosure Report required of senior federal officials, including Presidential appointees requiring Senate confirmation, Senior Executive Service members, and other positions designated by regulation as above the public filing threshold. OGE 278e filings are public records available for review.

What is the difference between OGE-450 and OGE-278?

OGE-450 is a confidential filing by employees in covered positions typically at GS-15 or below, filed with the employing agency. OGE-278e is a public filing by senior officials and political appointees, available as a public record. The two forms have different reporting periods, different deadlines (February 15 for OGE-450, May 15 for OGE-278e annual filings), and different disclosure thresholds.

Who is required to file an OGE-450?

Federal executive-branch employees in positions designated by their employing agency as covered confidential filers, generally at the GS-15 level or below under 5 CFR Part 2634, Subpart I. Special Government Employees serving on federal advisory committees or with a substantial role in agency policy are also required to file. Employees in acting assignments expected to last more than 60 days are subject to the filing requirement for that position.

When is the OGE-450 due?

Annual OGE-450 reports are due by February 15 of the year following the reporting period. Anyone who served more than 60 days in a covered position during the preceding calendar year is required to file an annual report. New entrants must file within 30 days of assuming the covered position. The employing agency’s ethics official may grant extensions.

What happens if you miss the OGE-450 filing deadline?

Unlike the public OGE-278e, the OGE-450 does not carry a statutory $200 late filing fee. However, failure to file may result in agency disciplinary action, reassignment, or removal. Willful failure to file, or willfully false information, can be referred for civil or criminal prosecution under the Ethics in Government Act. Specific enforcement is handled by the employing agency’s ethics office.

What forms does FDonline handle?

FDonline collects and processes OGE-450, OGE-450A, OGE-278, OGE-278e, and OGE-278-T forms. It supports annual filers, new entrants, terminations, nominee filers, combination filers, and periodic transaction filings in a single workflow.

How does FDonline simplify OGE financial disclosure filing?

FDonline replaces paper and legacy fillable PDFs with intelligent interview workflows. The interview collects the data; the platform renders every required form from it. OGE business rules, ethics laws, and agency-specific policies are built into the interview, so filers are guided to a complete submission the first time. Prior-year data carries forward, deadline alerts fire on schedule, and ethics officers receive compliance-ready reports without manually reconciling data.

How widely is FDonline used in the federal market?

FDonline is contracted to serve more than 115,000 federal subscribers across executive-branch agencies, and handles more than 85,000 annual OGE-450 filings.
