See the following special instructions, which are found on the first page of instructions for SF-86:

QuoteSpecial Instructions for Completing this Form

Questions on this form related to residence, employment, and education will require 7 years of information except that Single-Scope Background Investigations (SSBI) will require 10 years of information.

Provide 7 years of information unless you have been instructed to provide 10 years to satisfy SSBI requirements.  If you are unsure as to the amount of information to provide, contact the office that gave you this form.

The instructions for these questions specify a 10-year time frame when an SSBI is required.  If you have any questions about this investigative request or whether the 7-year time frame or the 10-year time frame applies to your responses to these questions, contact the office that gave you this form.

For a top secret clearance the Sf-86 asks to go back 7 years for the drug use question, correct? I read the ssbi covers the last 10 years, but the form states 7. Which is correct?
