Federal job applicants and current employees would take annual citizenship tests
A new bill would require anyone applying for a federal career job to pass a citizenship test. Current federal career employees would also have to take this test within one year and then annually to keep their jobs. Failing the test could lead to disciplinary action, including being fired.
Today, federal civilian career employees and applicants do not need to pass a citizenship test to get or keep their jobs. If this bill passes, new applicants would need to pass a full citizenship test to be hired. Current employees would take a full test within one year, then a shorter test annually. Failing these tests could result in not being hired or losing one's job.
