United States Secret Service

Read a random definition: Foraker Act

A quick definition of United States Secret Service:

United States Secret Service: A group of people who work for the government to keep important people safe, like the President and Vice President, and to stop bad guys from making fake money or using fake credit cards. They used to work for the Department of the Treasury, but now they work for the Department of Homeland Security. Sometimes people just call them the Secret Service.

A more thorough explanation:

The United States Secret Service is a law-enforcement agency that operates under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Its primary responsibility is to provide security for the President, Vice President, certain other government officials, and visiting foreign diplomats. Additionally, the Secret Service is responsible for protecting U.S. currency by enforcing laws related to counterfeiting, forgery, and credit-card fraud.

For example, when the President travels to different parts of the country or abroad, the Secret Service is responsible for ensuring his safety and security. They also investigate cases of counterfeit money and credit-card fraud to protect the economy and financial system of the United States.

The Secret Service was originally part of the Department of the Treasury but was transferred to the Department of Homeland Security in 2003.

@Eminatorcookieeater: same and my sub status was blank yesterday - trying to research what it means
@shaquilleoatmeal: ooo I wonder what that means, hopefully it means we'll hear back soon

It looks like an update to the sub status (it saying complete instead of being blank) means some sort of review has happened - basically a UR2. Seems like those who got a substatus change got a decision a few days after...
