Will this charge cost you your clearance?

How your charge affects security clearance status, adjudication guidelines, and reporting obligations.

A security clearance represents $100,000-300,000 in annual income. Self-reporting obligations mean that failure to report can be a bigger problem than the charge itself. The adjudicative guidelines have specific mitigating conditions, knowing which ones apply is the difference between keeping and losing the clearance. $147 to know what to report and when.
