What Is DA Form 3433 Series?

The DA 3433 Forms are released by the U.S. Department of the Army (DA) and are used during the application for non-appropriated fund employment. Non-Appropriated funds (NAF) employment is considered federal employment. The main difference from federal service is the source of money for NAF salaries. NAF employees are paid with money self-generated by daycare facilities, bowling centers, golf courses, and other activities that employ these individuals.

1. DA Form 3433, Optional Application for Non-appropriated Fund Employment, is a form used instead of or along with a resume when applying for NAF positions.
2. DA Form 3433-1, Supplemental Employment Application Form, is submitted with all NAF applications. It is used as an addition to the DA 3433 supplying information about previous job experience, education, and military service.
3. DA Form 3433-2, Supplemental-A Employment Application Form for Child-Youth Services Positions, is a document used by individuals applying to NAF positions requiring child care. This form is used to check if the applicant had any law violations that might lead to them being unfit to work with children.
