SF-1188 is used for which purpose?

• A. Immigration admissibility
• B. Detention space for juveniles
• C. Payroll deductions for union dues
• D. Seizure authority

Answer: (C)

SF-1188 is the standard form used to authorize payroll deductions for union dues. In federal personnel processes, an employee signs this form to allow a specific amount to be withheld from each paycheck and remitted to the employee’s union or professional association. The form provides the official record of the authorization, including the deduction amount and how long it applies, and it enables the payroll office to withhold the funds accurately. This purpose is unrelated to immigration admissibility, detention space, or seizure authority, which are not about employee payroll or union participation. So the form’s use is specifically to set up and manage payroll deductions for union dues.
