Employees with SCI access and who are under NGA cognizance are required to submit a Security Financial Disclosure Report, SF-714, on an annual basis in order to determine continued eligibility. Failure to comply may negatively impact continued access to Top Secret information, Information Systems, SAP, or unescorted access to SCIFs.

A performance pay process is conducted each year to determine a potential base pay salary increase and/or bonus.

An employee's annual performance evaluation is a key factor in the performance pay process.
