USDA Ethics 3.17.5

This interactive mobile application serves as a valuable resource for USDA employees and other Federal government personnel by offering concise and accessible summaries of Federal ethics regulations and the restrictions imposed by the Hatch Act regarding political activities. The information is easily navigable within a well-structured Ethics Library.

Moreover, the app features a collection of ten succinct videos in its Ethics Video Library, allowing employees to enhance their understanding of these crucial rules at their convenience—whether they're at the office, working remotely, or traveling on official business.

A dedicated Resources section enables USDA employees to swiftly connect with an Ethics advisor at the USDA Office of Ethics, facilitating timely access to guidance.

It is critical to note that, given the fact-specific nature of ethics determinations, employees are strongly encouraged to reach out to their agency's Ethics Advisors for any ethics-related inquiries. While this app effectively raises awareness, it should not be viewed as a substitute for personalized advice from an experienced Ethics Advisor.
