Who qualifies for the 12-411 process?

You are eligible for the 12-411 process if all of the following are true:

• You were born or naturalized in one of the 50 states of the union

• You live and work outside of federal jurisdiction or territory (i.e., not residing in Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, or other U.S. territories)

• You earn income in U.S. dollars from a private-sector employer

• You are not a current federal employee

(Note: This restriction applies only to federal government employees — state and local government workers can still qualify.)

This process is based on jurisdiction — specifically, the distinction between federal territory and the sovereign states. If you live and work within the United States but outside federal territory, and earn private income, then you likely qualify to undergo the lawful money redemption process authorized by Title 12 USC § 411.
