Re: Reported History

I think you need to include it and fill out the supplemental forms. Note that the law says "inpatient or residential substance abuse treatment in the preceding five year period". It does not use the word medical in that phrase, so any drug or alcohol treatment facility would meet the law. Since yours was more than five years ago, you are not disqualified, as I read this.

I don't know if DPS would find out or not, but I have faith in their ability to dig up embarrassing facts. Reporting something extra cannot hurt other than more paperwork. Not reporting it and having them find it can be considered lying and grounds for disqualification. while I have faith in their ability to find things, I have no faith in their ability to interpret situations the way I would want it done.
