Who is Notified of the Results of the Background Investigation?
When an applicant receives a clearance status of “Not Clear,” The Office of Investigations and Records Management will forward the results of any investigation revealing derogatory information, to the appropriate hiring manager or Department supervisor indicating that potentially disqualifying information (PDI) was discovered and the nature of the derogatory information. The Office of Investigations and Records Management also provides a Pre-Adverse Disclosure Notice to applicants that are determined to be “Not Clear.” These notices are sent in accordance with guidelines established under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and provide the applicant with an opportunity to rebut the information discovered during the background investigation. Under no circumstances do the results sent by the Office of Investigations and Records Management authorize the hiring of an individual.
