Foreign Service Family Reserve Corps (FSFRC)

Applicants will be evaluated based solely on FSFRC Program eligibility requirements using agency-developed standards. Applicants who meet the program requirements will be accepted as members into the FSFRC. NOTE: If it is determined that you do not meet program eligibility requirements or if you fail to submit proper documentation in a timely manner, you will be removed from consideration. FSFRC Members in Categories One or Two will be required to complete a recertification process on an annual basis when not actively working in a local position at post. All members will be required to recertify for the program every five (5) years. The FSFRC member will be required to respond to security reinvestigation requests from Diplomatic Security (DS). The FSFRC appointment will terminate if the member no longer qualifies for the FSFRC or does not respond to the Talent Services’ (GTM/TS) recertification query within the required timeline. FSFRC members must notify TS of any event (such as divorce, etc.) which may result in a loss of eligibility for the program.
The Foreign Service Family Reserve Corps (FSFRC) is a non-pay program. The FSFRC was created to improve the efficiency of the hiring process for Appointment Eligible Family Members (AEFMs) at overseas posts. Family members who meet the eligibility requirements and are accepted into the FSFRC, will be appointed to a position without compensation or benefits. FSFRC members will then compete for available positions at their sponsoring employees post overseas.
