DOHA Starts Hearing CAC Denial Appeals

CAC card denials and appeals… who knew?

Just to add my own two cents: I am cleared/briefed as a contractor with Agency A. Periodic update was submitted on time so I am still “active” but no longer “current” as it is taking for-freakin-ever to get adjudicated.

I was assigned to another contract part-time to support Agency B which required a CAC to access certain locations where they have things that need tending to. Agency B would not submit my CAC application because my clearance is not current.

Supposedly it has been worked out but I do not have a card yet.

Are they overreacting? Should there have even been an issue?

Funny you should mention this as that is the topic for my next post. Stay tuned…
