Federal employees won\u2019t be following the honor system but will instead be required to acknowledge that making a \u201cknowing and willful false statement on this form can be punished by fine or imprisonment or both.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Associated Press obtained a copy of the form which was distributed Friday to agency leadership and points of contact for COVID safety protocol implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Biden\u2019s policy, those who are not vaccinated or choose not to complete the form will will be subject to mandatory mask-wearing and social distancing requirements and will be ineligible for official travel in most cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effort is part of the White House\u2019s push to make it more difficult for eligible Americans to remain unvaccinated against the coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the exception of those seeking to \u201cobtain a public service or benefit,\u201d visitors to federal office-buildings, including the White House, will be required to fill out the form before visiting, according to the federal policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden&#8217;s COVID-19 vaccine requirement for federal workers now has an attestation form that employees will need to fill
