PSH-24-0092 - In the Matter of Personnel Security Hearing

On July 26, 2024, an Administrative Judge (AJ) determined that an Individual should not be granted access authorization under 10 C.F.R. Part 710. The DOE Local Security Office suspended the Individual's security clearance application after it discovered that the Individual had failed to file federal and state income taxes for several recent years and had two financial accounts in collection.

At the conclusion of the hearing, the AJ determined that the LSO appropriately invoked Guideline F . The AJ also determined that the Individual did not put forth sufficient evidence to resolve the Guideline F security concerns. Accordingly, the AJ concluded that the Individual should not be granted access authorization. (OHA Case No. PSH-24-0092, Thompson III)
