Ten Common Reasons Government Clearance Requests Are Rejected
Having government clearance can be very valuable indeed
, and getting one is a process that every person must go through before they can be granted access to information relating to national security. (Note. You cannot obtain a clearance for yourself. Your current or prospective employer has to do this for you.)
Great care must be taken when making the application. Adjudicators use specific guidelines to determine whether or not an individual can be trusted, and they look for qualities like good character, loyalty, financial responsibility and reliability.
Certain actions may disqualify candidates, such as conviction of a crime and imprisonment of a year or longer, illegal drug use, and dishonorable discharge from the armed forces.
According to ClearedJobs.net, 99% of rejections occur because of very simple, avoidable, mistakes.
The following are the top 10 reasons for rejecting investigation requests according to the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO).
1.Missing employment information
List all employment, including the company that is submitting the clearance request as current employer.
2.Missing information on relatives born abroad (U.S. citizen/national)
Provide complete proof of relative citizenship information, including document identification numbers.
3.Incomplete information concerning debts or bankruptcy
Disclose all financial obligations which are or have been delinquent, and all information pertaining to bankruptcy. Include dates, amounts, account numbers, and the name of the organization to which debt is/was owed.
4.Missing social security number for adult co-habitant
Provide complete information for each field. If cohabitant is a U.S. citizen born outside the United States, provide complete proof of citizenship information, including document identification numbers.
5.Missing Selective Service registration information
A male applicant born after December, 31, 1959, who has not registered for Selective Service, must fully explain the reasons for not having registered, with reference to any applicable legal exemption(s). Persons can verify their Selective Service registration and obtain their registration information online from the Selective Service System at the web sitehttp://www.sss.gov or telephonically at 1-847-688-6888.
6.Request ID number on e-QIP does not match the number on the Certification and/or Release(s)
Pages printed from e-QIP contain the request ID of the questionnaire completed by the applicant and must match the investigation request ID being submitted to OPM. The Request ID number cannot be handwritten.
7.Illegible Certification or Release Forms
Provide complete information for each field and ensure there are no stray marks on the forms before and after scanning. Ensure the top, bottom and sides of each document are present after scanning attachments. Type or legibly print the name, SSN, address and dates. Use the date format mm/dd/yyyy.
8.Missing education information
Provide complete name and address of the school and a person who has knowledge of the applicant. If the most recent degree falls outside the scope of the investigation (7 or 10 years), provide the information regardless of how long ago the degree was obtained.
9.Missing Certification or Release Forms
The personnel security investigation cannot proceed without a signed and current release form. Scan and attach the forms in the submission to JPAS. The Fair Credit Reporting Disclosure and Authorization form is required.
10.Name disparity on Certification / Release forms and SF-86 T
Type or legibly print the name as it appears on the questionnaire. Do not use a middle initial if a full middle name is given on the questionnaire.
