Interactive Training: Receipt of Payments Prior to and During Government Service - 5 CFR 2635.503 and 18 U.S.C. 209

These videos cover 18 U.S.C. § 209 and 5 C.F.R. § 2635.503 which deal with receipt of payments during and prior to government service, respectively. In Part 1 the instructor discusses a hypothetical scenario to get a better idea of how these rules operate in practice with the goal of preparing newer ethics officials to handle situations involving the receipt of payments. Part 2 discusses remedies to the hypotheticals set up in Part 1.

NOTE: Among other changes to the Standards of Conduct effective August 15, 2024, (1) a payment covered by 2635.503 is now referred to as a “covered payment,” not an “extraordinary payment;” and (2) payments received after the start of Government service may implicate 2635.503 (previously, only payments received prior to Government service were covered by this provision). Updated regulatory language also places limits on what constitutes a “qualifying program” pursuant to which payments can be made. See 89 FR 43686 and LA-24-06.
