Department of treasury public trust denied

SECURITY CLEARANCE Q&A
1

Hello,

This is my first time here so grettings to all.

so I currently hold an active Public Trust clearance through my work with the CDC. I recently applied for another federal role that required a Public Trust with the U.S. Department of the Treasury. I was informed that the Treasury clearance was denied, but I haven’t received any formal documentation explaining why.

So my questions are:

  1. How long does it typically take to receive the reason for denial?

  2. Is the Statement of Reasons (SOR) mailed? If so, is there a faster way to access it (e.g., email, DCSA request, etc.)?

  3. What is the appeal process if I choose to challenge the decision?

  4. How long does the appeal process usually take?

  5. If I resolve or correct the issue that caused the denial (e.g., taxes, debt, missing documents), is there a chance the clearance will then be granted?
