Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

Questions on an employment application.

Can the following be on the emp.app.

Have you ever served in jail? If yes, what was the offense?

Have you ever been denied a security clearance? If yes, explain.

Jobs requiring a security clearance requires additional paperwork for the government. Neither of these questions seem appropriate on an employment application.
