Company accidentally left my clearance active

SECURITY CLEARANCE Q&A
1

Hello–

I just found out that an old employer reported me as active TS/SCI for six years after I left the company. During those years I traveled a lot overseas and even got a foreign citizenship. Obviously I didn’t report any of this since that job was long over and supposedly my clearance was gone.

I found out about all this when I just started a new job which transferred that clearance over. Can someone tell me not to worry about this? haha

How did you get a clearance job with a non-USA citizenship?

I know a bunch of people with clearances that have dual citizenship.

It sounds like your prior employer may not have taken you out of DISS and de-briefed you so you appeared to have never left.

Thats not on you, just report to the FSO those activities and they’ll send it into CAS under self reporting.

OK, thank you! That’s reassuring–much appreciated.
