Submitted my SF-86 but was fired two days at my non-government job after submitting the form, how would I self-report this?

Hello, not sure if there may be advice on this, I submitted my SF-86 form this week but unfortunately two days later I was fired from my non-government job, not sure if anybody may have advice on this situation? will this mean I will receive security clearance denial, it was due to time and attendance issues.

If you mean mischarging on government contracts, this could definitely be an issue.

reach out to whoever provided you with the SF86. You may be able to amend it. If not, when you have your interview (if you have an interview) be sure to volunteer that information, as they may have already pulled the record and are aware that you were termed for cause.

If you were mischarging time, as Squirrel mentioned, it is certainly a concern. If it was more of a “not showing up to work on time” be sure to say what you have done (if anything) to mitigate the situation so that it would not continue.

Do not fret what happened after your SF86 submission. An investigator will contact you if there is a concern. Do be prepared to discuss why you were fired with the investigator.

Thank you for responding, will try and reach out on Monday and ask if they could let me amend this. Sorry I think I did not explain correctly, I unfortunately throughout the year I had taken an additional part-time job for additional income, but I had put my call off’s as unpaid and they let me know there is a restriction once you meet seven unpaid without using sick leave or vacation, unfortunately I had no idea that could also be cause for letting someone go I was trying not to abuse my sick leave but I think it came off the wrong way :melting_face:

Sounds like a reasonable explanation. If its an isolated case then there should not be an issue (in my anonymous internet forum opinion). And I agree with @backgdinvestigator no need to worry about updating your form at this point.

If they have already opened an investigation , this “could” put you into limbo. The worst case of all because you have no due process.
