Which form is used as the DHS Credit Release Form in the PSI package?

• A. DHS 11000-9
• B. SF-86
• C. FD-258
• D. CG-5588

Answer: (A)

DHS Form 11000-9 is the form used to authorize the release of information, including credit information, to the Department of Homeland Security as part of a security background investigation in the PSI package. It provides the official consent for DHS or its contractors to obtain credit reports from consumer reporting agencies and to share the results with DHS for evaluation. This makes it the designated credit release form in the PSI package.

The other forms serve different purposes in the process: SF-86 is the detailed background investigation questionnaire collecting personal history, FD-258 is the fingerprint card used for criminal background checks, and CG-5588 is used for other disclosures or procedures within DHS, not specifically for authorizing credit information release.
