does bankruptcy hurt my security clearance?
Question by kadidjatou A: does bankruptcy hurt my security clearance?
Does filling a bankruptcy protection hurt your chances of obtainning a security clearance?
Best answer:
Answer by Gem
Yes, it can.
Usually to get a security clearance you have to be bondable.
If you are bankrupt, you cannot be bonded-at least for a few years.
If you are already bonded, you may be ok.
Good luck

Yes. People who have money problems are at greater risk of being compromised. So, bankruptcy, excessive debt, habitual gambling, will all play a factor in high-level security clearances.
