I’ll be honest they won’t bother to prosecute that. I know of a few people that lied on their resume for the feds. They just got banned from applying to government jobs for 10 years.
Of course they can always decide to prosecute, but they’re not going to bother unless your lie makes you actually get in and you use your position to defraud the government in some other way.
Or they have some other reason they don’t like you. Under Trump this could be your social media posts these days
Agreed. A friend had a background check done for government work, and in their case if they lied it was a felony charge.
Can you imagine that? “What are you in for?” “I… I lied about working for Sears.”
