Hoping an FSO or someone familiar with DISS can clarify something for me.
My T5 investigation closed on October 20, 2021, and my CE date is November 19, 2021. I have TS/SCI eligibility with a CI polygraph. My last cleared position ended in October/November 2025, although my SCI access wasn’t formally debriefed until October 2026.
I’m actively applying for TS/SCI positions and getting concerned about my clearance as I approach the five-year mark.
If a new employer picks me up, would they be able to initiate my SF-86/PVQ update without a lengthy reinvestigation? My background and personal circumstances haven’t changed significantly since my last investigation.
I’m also wondering whether my clearance could be considered out of scope and whether the time of the last cleared job that required TS SCI affects anything because I left my last cleared job on November 2025.
I’d really appreciate input from an FSO or anyone who’s dealt with a similar situation. Thanks!
