The appointing officer before whom the foregoing certificate is made than
determine to his own satisfaction that this appointment would be in conformance
with the Civil Service Act, applicable Civil Service Rules and Regulations and
acts of Congress pertaining to appointment.
This form should be checked for holding of office, pension, suitability in con-
nection with any record of recent discharge or arrest, and particularly for the
following:
(1) Identity of appointee-It is the duty of the appointing officer to
guard against impersonation and to determine beyond reasonable doubt that the
appointee is the same person whose appointment was authorized. The
appointee's signature and handwriting are to be to par compared with the application
and/or other pertinent paper. If the appointee qualified in a written exami-
nation, the signature on this form should be compared with the signature on
the declaration sheet, which was signed in the examination room. His physical
appearance may be checked against the medical certificate. The appointee
may also be questioned on his personal history for agreement with his previous
statements:
(Z) Age.-If definite age limits have been' established for the position, it should
be determined that applicant is not outside the age range for appointment.
Until such determination is made, the appointment may not be consummated.
(3) Citizenship.-The appointing officer is responsible for observing the
citizenship provisions of (1) the Civil Service Rules and (2) appropriation acts.
Form 61 constitutes an affidavit for both purposes and is acceptable proof of
citizenship status in the absence of conflicting evidence. In doubtful eases the
appointment should not be consummated until clearance has been secured from
the certifying afice of the Civil Service Commission.
(4) Members of Family.-Section 9 of the Civil Service Act provides that
whenever there are already two or more members of a family serving under
probational or permanent appointment in the competitive service, no other
member of such family is eligible for probational or permanent appointment in
the competitive service. The appointments of persons entitled to veteran
preference are not subject to this requirement The members-of-Family provision
does not apply to temporary appointments. Doubtful cases may be referred to
the appropriate office of the Civil Service Commission for decision.
