This interactive mobile app provides USDA employees – and other Federal government employees – with short easy-to-read summaries of the Federal ethics rules and the Hatch Act's limitations on political activity. This information is available, at your fingertips, in a well-organized Ethics Library.
The app also includes a series of ten short videos in a comprehensive Ethics Video Library, so that employees can quickly become more aware about these important rules, anytime, whether in the office, off-site, or on official travel.
The app contains a handy Resources sections for USDA employees to be able to readily contact an Ethics advisor at the USDA Office of Ethics.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Since ethics determinations are often fact-specific, employees are strongly encouraged to contact their respective agency Ethics Advisors with any ethics questions. The app is a useful tool to raise awareness, but is not a substitute for the individual advice provided by an experienced Ethics Advisor.
I read a lot about ethics in the news nowadays. This App has helped me understand what the rules mean. It's an easy to use App and the videos are an interesting change up. Thank you USDA for helping America by making this App!
Thanks for making this helpful Ethics App!

We've updated the app for iOS 26 compatibility and fixed an issue where YouTube videos weren't loading. Enjoy a smoother experience!
