I was layed off from DOE with a Q clearance (Top Secret) a month ago. I have a prospective job with the DOD that is TS required. Already interviewed and they want to hire. Will my DOE inactive crossover to DOD?
I don’t think so. I think unfortunately they are completely separate clearances. DOE is a Q (equivalent to TS). DOD is a TS. You can have both at the same time but I don’t think they cross-over.
They do cross over at least while active. I know several people that crossed over from DOD to DOE and reverse. Just not sure if while inactive but not investigation expired in my case.
I have both right now. I was told emphatically “NO! They cannot cross over.” I had to get them both separately. Maybe it’s just my agency…
This is why this blog exists. So many differences.
