Instructions for Completing the DS-1990
The DS-1990 is a two-part form HR uses to document and process short-term hires to work for periods
not to exceed 30 work days per calendar year. No additional forms are required.
FMO insures funds are available prior to HR processing the PSA-Ltd employment action in the current
fiscal year through September 30. PSA-Ltd employment actions may not extend past September 30. If
there is a need for the continued work into the next fiscal year, HR processes a new PSA-Ltd at the
beginning of the new fiscal year (from October 1-December 31) within the 30 day calendar year
maximum.
HR may not process a PSA-Ltd for the new fiscal year until the FMO certifies that there is funding for it.
No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise for employment on the PSA-
Ltd beyond the end of the fiscal year until funds are made available for employment, and until the
employee receives notice of the availability of funds, confirmed in writing (DS-1990) by HR.
