The security clearance application process, as well as the renewal process (periodic reinvestigation (PR), includes an extensive and thorough background investigation into your personal life, employment and financial history. Anything from traffic offenses, credit card debt, foreign connections, travel, social media, and more can be called into question.
Further, just because you have been granted a clearance does not guarantee you will be granted another one later or be able to maintain it for the remainder of your career. A security clearance can be taken away at any time due to numerous factors that call into question your ability to work in a sensitive position or have access to classified information. The government conducts “Continuous Evaluations (CE)” on military personnel, federal employees and contractors who hold a security clearance. This means they can constantly monitor information about your life; and now, the government can also collect information from your social media and consider it for security clearance determinations.
Security Clearance holders may also be investigated as an "insider threat" or counterintelligence risk which ultimately may lead to a suspended and/or determination to revoke one's clearance. As soon as you are aware of such an investigation -- contact Long Law Firm
