See this forum: [What if a current federal employee fails a clearance?](https://discuss.clearancejobsblog.com/t/what-if-a-current-federal-employee-fails-a-clearance/6450) You should ask your security officer if your case has been fully adjudicated. I imagine that it takes some time for you to be fully adjudicated, but I am not too sure about that. I don’t think you are out of the wood yet. Anyway, the denial might have impact on your current public trust position. I am not sure if this is reportable with public trust positions as I don’t think there is a requirement in general as do national security positions; nonetheless, the Army requires this to be reported regardless of position designation. I would advise you to proactively consult with a clearance attorney and/or security officer. By reporting, it might have a consequence for you… but that would be better than having the Army finding out. Also, with the denial… you will not be able to apply for a national security position with the Navy for a year. I imagine that other DoD agencies will probably say the same. This is why we should always respond to SOR and appeal the decision. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.clearancejobsblog.com/t/security-clearance-denied/6552)._
