Personal 
Relationships
Under the ethics rules and laws, a Government employee is not automatically prohibited from working on a Government matter (such as a contract) involving a person with whom he has a personal relationship (e.g., dating, or someone who is a friend or relative).
However, Government employees need to exercise caution and should consider whether a reasonable person, with knowledge of the relevant facts, might question their impartiality.
For example, an employee should not continue working on a Government contract if he were dating one of the contractor's employees and were in a position to review that person's work.
