Which SEAD category corresponds to Reciprocity?

• A. Adjudicative Guidelines
• B. Reciprocity
• C. Whistleblower Protection
• D. Continuous Evaluation

Answer: (B)

Reciprocity in SEAD refers to how decisions, access, or privileges are recognized and extended in a reciprocal way between agencies or jurisdictions. The category named Reciprocity focuses on that exact concept, so it fits this question perfectly. In practice, reciprocity helps avoid duplicative investigations and promotes consistency by recognizing prior adjudications and aligning criteria across parties. The other SEAD categories address different areas: Adjudicative Guidelines set the standards for evaluating eligibility; Whistleblower Protection concerns protections for those who report concerns; Continuous Evaluation covers ongoing monitoring after adjudication.
