The Security Manager only has to update the JPAS and say they are offering you a job—sponsoring you. You can tell the Security Manager to call us. The fix is as simple as a new code being submitted into the system to correct the loss of jurisdiction.

Not everyone qualifies for a security clearance or occupancy of a sensitive position only those people determined to be good security risks are given clearances and permitted to handle classified. I retired from the military in October 2006. I have a completed SBPR investigation (Oct 2007, listed in JPAS), but the DONCAF added a statement in JPAS saying “Loss of Jurisdiction on 2008 07 01.” JPAS also does not say I am eligible for indoctrination. An RRU was submitted 2008 08 07, and I have a CI Poly from September 2006.

Your security clearance paperwork (SF-86) from your company will be electronically forwarded to the DoD’s Personnel Security Management Office-Industry (PSMO-I). You may also be able to submit your own security paperwork electronically through OPM’s e-QIP (Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing) system. PSMO-I personnel security specialists (adjudicators) will review your SF-86/eQIP for accuracy and completeness. If everything looks good, they will grant you an INTERIM SECRET or INTERIM TOP SECRET security clearance and then forward your SF-86/eQIP to Federal Investigative Services (FIS) to initiate a request for the required level of background investigation from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). If your SF-86/eQIP is sloppy, inaccurate or you’ve omitted requested information, your security paperwork will be rejected by PSMO-I and returned to your contractor’s security office for revisions. It’s important to fill out your SF-86/eQIP correctly on the first submission. Otherwise, you’re adding a lot of extra time to the completion date of your final investigation. If your SF-86/eQIP is accurate and complete as deemed by PSMO-I’s adjudicators, it is still possible to not be granted an INTERIM SECRET or INTERIM TOP SECRET security clearance. PSMO-I adjudicators adhere to special guidelines when deciding to grant INTERIM security clearances. If your SF-86/eQIP indicates that you fall under 1 or more of these guidelines, you won’t be granted an INTERIM clearance. So, it’s important to know how to fill out the SF-86/eQIP. It’s important to know what to disclose and what does not needlessly need to be disclosed. You may actually hurt yourself by disclosing needless information on your SF-86/eQIP.

OPM’s Federal Investigative Services Division (FISD) will conduct the necessary electronic record checks and assign your case to an investigator if necessary. If you are in-process for a TOP SECRET clearance, you will be interviewed by an investigator. If you are in-process for a SECRET clearance and have no background issues, you’re fine. You will not meet with an investigator. If you have issues, you’ll be contacted by an investigator for an interview. Forget about CONFIDENTIAL level clearances; the U.S. government rarely issues those low level clearances anymore.

Eligibility Determinations

The Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) maintains DoD personnel security clearance eligibilities. Listed below are eligibilities with their definition for industry and the procedures for the FSO. When eligibility is changed, an Eligibility Change Notification is sent to any Security Management Office (SMO) with an active owning or servicing relationship with the individual's Person Categories. An active owning relationship must exist in order for servicing SMOs to receive notifications.

Eligibility information includes the level of eligibility adjudicated by the government central adjudication facility (CAF). The FSO cannot change this information but if the FSO believes it is incorrect, please notify PSMO-I via the Research, Recertify, Upgrade (RRU) function. Remember, the employee may have eligibility at a higher level than what is recorded at your facility due to previous employment or military service. The employee may not be granted access to classified information at a level higher level than the facility clearance level.

Prior to indoctrinating access, the FSO should verify clearance eligibility by viewing information contained in the Adjudication Summary. This will ensure the individual's eligibility supports the access. If there is a question on eligibility levels, contact the DoD Security Services Center for advice on appropriate definitions or procedures.

Interim Secret Clearances

An interim Secret determination is based on a review and assessment of information contained in records or systems available to PSMO-I and the applicant's Questionnaire for National Security Positions, SF86. An interim determination will permit the individual to have access to most of the classified information needed to perform his or her duties. The interim determination is made concurrently with the requesting of the investigation from OPM and generally remains in effect until an investigation is completed, at which time the applicant is considered for a final eligibility.

In accordance with Executive Order 12968, 'Access to Classified Information,' August 2, 1995, and Department of Defense (DoD) Regulation 5200.2- R, 'Personnel Security Program,' January 1987, an official Personnel Security Investigation (PSI) will be completed on the applicant so that PSMO-I may obtain the necessary information and relevant facts upon which to base a determination for final eligibility. Upon completion of the required investigation, a final security clearance determination will be made as quickly as possible and the FSO will be notified through the JPAS process.

Interim Top Secret Clearances

When an individual is submitted for a Top Secret clearance, there are two ways to qualify for an interim TS eligibility:

• Individual already has a valid eligibility of Secret or Confidential and favorable review of the investigation request
• If there is no valid Secret or Confidential when PSMO-I receives a request for Top Secret, PSMO-I submits the investigation request to OPM. OPM will send the Advanced National Agency Check (NAC) results when completed and PSMO-I will review the NAC to determine interim Top Secret eligibility.

Eligibility Pending

Indicates the investigation request has been received and reviewed for potentially posting an Interim Determination. When the requirements for an Interim determination have not been met, PSMO-I will post 'Eligibility Pending' and defer adjudication until the completion of the requested investigation.

Jpas And Loss Of Jurisdiction

In plain English, what this means is this: In the past, the former DISCO would have posted “Interim Clearance Denied”. This means that your case has some issues and those issues need to be addressed by an investigator before any type of Interim Clearance can be granted. If your case is “clean” and has no issues, you will be granted an Interim Clearance. If your case is “dirty” or has some issues, you simply have to wait for your entire investigation to be formally completed. OPM-FIS has to send the official Report of Investigation (ROI) to DOD CAF or your agency’s security department before a final decision can be made.

As stated earlier, the entry “Interim Clearance Denied” used to be posted into JPAS. For various reasons, this entry has been replaced by the phrase of “Eligibility Pending”. People seem to think it looks and sounds better as it appears on the JPAS screen. Also, Facility Security Officers (FSOs) were being prejudiced against job applicants when this entry would appear in the JPAS system. Basically, there was a lot of crying about this phrase so it was changed…just another euphemism to make people feel better about themselves. “Eligibility Pending” still means the same thing, though……You have been denied an Interim Security Clearance!

PSMO-I does not respond to verbal inquiries from applicants regarding their interim determinations. If JPAS reflects Eligibility Pending, the applicants may contact Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC), ATTN: Privacy Act Office, P.O. Box 168, Boyers, PA 16020-0168 for information regarding their JPAS record. However, if the Eligibility field is blank, PSMO-I will accept a letter from the applicant (including their full name, Social Security Number and return address) sent directly to the PSMO-I Planning Office requesting the reason(s) PSMO-I is awaiting a completed investigation before posting an eligibility determination. The Applicant or FSO must provide a copy of the initial SF86 Archival version to include signature pages with the requesting letter. The letter and Archival SF86 should be sent to: Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office, Attn: Planning Office, 600 10th Street, Suite 160, Fort Meade, MD 20755-5117. PSMO-I can only respond to the applicant directly regarding privacy act information. Security clearance applicants should address any questions or concerns regarding a security clearance application or processing to their FSO. The FSO should contact the DoD Security Services Call Center for assistance if other questions arise.

Withdrawal of Interim Clearance Eligibility
There will be occasions where the interim determination will be withdrawn after it has been issued. In accordance with DoD policies, PSMO-I no longer sends industry hard copy notifications of an interim withdrawal; JPAS notifies entities with a servicing or owning relationship. In addition, PSMO-I sends notifications via the JPAS Send Message functionality to all SMOs where interim access is reflected in JCAVS. Remember, an active owning relationship must exist in order for servicing SMOs to receive notifications. The NISPOM cites a notification will be provided and the JPAS notification is the mechanism that provides the notification (e.g. ISL 05L -1, item 5, which advises that notifications will be via JPAS.)

Loss of Jurisdiction
When an individual has an eligibility of Loss of Jurisdiction, there is no eligibility, i.e. the individual should be debriefed and no access provided until an eligibility that supports access is entered by a CAF. Loss of Jurisdiction or (LOJ) is usually posted when an individual has no affiliation with an Industry Facility. A CAF, other than DOHA, determines that an individual no longer requires access to SCI. If the individual still requires access to Top Secret the FSO should notify PSMO-I via RRU. In this instance, the FSO should debrief and remove the individual from SCI access. The collateral access should remain in JPAS to ensure that the collateral clearance need is identified. Failure to leave the collateral access in JPAS, may result in discontinuance of processing.

No Determination Made
If an individual has an eligibility of 'No Determination Made', there is no eligibility, i.e. the individual should be debriefed and no access provided until an eligibility that supports access is entered by a CAF. This eligibility type is primarily used when an individual fails to satisfy an official government request (non-compliance), for example:

• PSMO-I asks for follow-up information and it has not been provided (15 days for most requests, 30 days for SF-86 requests)*
• Suitability Determinations by PSMO-I and other CAFs

*Note: The previous eligibility will be reinstated once the official request is satisfied, provided there has not been a break in service longer than 24 months.

Position of Trust
This indicates the suitability of an individual for employment in a position of trust. Access to classified information is not required.

Denied or Revoked by DOHA
The individual does not hold a valid eligibility for access to classified information, therefore no access should be issued or access already provided should be removed. Denied or Revoked for Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) Paragraph 7-101e of DoD 5200.2-R, Personnel Security Program, provides for separate due process for SCI and collateral eligibility. There are some cases in which SCI eligibility is denied or revoked, but the individual still has Top Secret access. FSOs are not required to remove the collateral access until they are instructed to do so by PSMO-I or DOHA.

One final important note to remember. Just because you were denied an INTERIM security clearance, that does not necessarily mean that you will be denied a final security clearance. Most people who were denied an INTERIM security clearance will ultimately receive their final security clearance after the background investigation has run its course and been completed. There is one thing, though: A lot of people lose their jobs or are not hired for a job because they failed to obtain an INTERIM clearance at the start. It’s unfair but that’s what’s going on in the real world as far as defense contractors are concerned.
