Security Clearances: Spouses, Mental Health and Always...Marijuana
Yep, your spouse’s activities can impact your security clearance. So can being fired from a previous job. If you’ve got the choice, should you attend a hearing or respond in writing to a Statement of Reasons? Anthony Kuhn , Managing Partner at Tully Rinckey PLLC , shares all this and more in our special episode on security clearances.
“The thing about security clearance work that I think makes it a little cleaner and clearer than most court case type work, is that you don't have to dig through hundreds or thousands of cases. You don't have to find the perfect case in a certain state to make your argument. It's all black and white. The adjudicative guidelines -- there's 13 of them -- tell you what you can do to mitigate the concerns.”
