on sf86 section 13a employment activities I wrote laid off due to budget cuts for one of the employers 4 years ago. It was my first job using security clearance. I worked 5 years for that company with good reviews but in the last 6 months I joined a different group due to budget cuts. The new boss gave me 6 months to learn a new technology that I wasn’t familiar with. I tried my best but may be it wasn’t good enough so they let me go which I I thought was due to budget cuts that’s what I was told by that employer at that time. I contacted that company and they sent me letter stating “Termination for Performance issues without Cause”. I got this letter after the interview. On the form SF86 I wrote laid off due to funding issues. what should i do. For a different question The investigator told me in the interview that “the investigation stops the day of your interview so anything that happens afterwards will go on your next SF86.” ---

Don’t worry about it. Employers often respond differently from what you expect. If your weren’t questioned about it, don’t sweat it. ---

You are right EdFarmerIII the investigator never questioned about it although I wrote “laid off due to budget cuts” for this company. Also I was able to collect unemployment benefits and the company didn’t protest. Its been a week since i had my interview done so if i sent this new info now she might be more suspicious. Besides in the interview she was only interested in my dual nationality and foreign trips in fact when i try to update one of my contacts and addresses she said don’t worry about it. I used to have Secret in the past which expired recently and she was carrying both my old and new SF86.
