a primary litmus test for clearance is how much debt you are in
As someone on the outside, I'm curious if that's true. I've never applied for clearance but I was always under the impression that it was more about how many people could vouch for you. Is it true that it actually just comes down to your bank account?
- fishpen0 3y agoThere are a handful of key litmus tests that are part of the background check. If you are/were a felon, If you lie at all during the check, If you are in extreme debt, If they find public record of you being anti-american, If you fail a drug test. These all come up during the screening interviews of your peers, family, and coworkers. I have done about a half dozen or so of these for former peers, friends, and colleagues who have moved on to do public sector or join private military companies that needed clearance.
- ZekeSulastin 3y agoYou can read clearance hearing/appeal decisions for contractors[1] to see some of what goes into it. On the money part specifically it’s less the raw status of your bank account and more how you’re handling debt and delinquency if at all. On a topical note, a not-uncommon issue is failing to pay income tax or file a tax return :p the result of those appeals depended on if and how the appellant tried to resolve that.
