453 Function of the Medical Assessment

The medical assessment provides the hiring official with information necessary to make an informed hiring decision. It identifies an applicant’s physical or mental medical restrictions or limitations that could affect the applicant’s ability to perform the job offered safely and effectively. If the medical assessment process identifies restrictions or limitations or suggests a job modification, it does not necessarily indicate the presence of a disability, and it does not constitute a recommendation for or against hiring.

PS Form 3666, Certification for Postal Service Employment of Individuals with Severe Disabilities, is available online on the Postal Service PolicyNet website.

  • Go to https://blue.usps.gov.
  • In the left-hand column under “Essential Links,” click on PolicyNet.
  • Click Forms.
