How Does Security Revocation/Suspension Work? 

When facing the potential revocation or suspension of your security clearance, it's helpful to understand how this process works. Understanding each step and being well-prepared can significantly impact the outcome of your case. 

The first step usually involves a Preliminary Determination, where the agency reviews information that raises concerns about your eligibility to maintain a security clearance. If the concerns are deemed serious, you may receive a Statement of Reasons (SOR) or Notification of Action (NOA), detailing the issues that might lead to the revocation or suspension. 

Upon receiving an SOR or NOA, you generally have the opportunity to respond and provide mitigating evidence. This response is critical and must directly address each concern raised in the notice. Failing to respond adequately can result in the immediate suspension or revocation of your security clearance. If your initial response does not resolve the issues, you have the right to request a hearing before an administrative judge, where you can present further evidence and potentially have witnesses testify on your behalf. 

The final decision is made by the appropriate adjudicating authority based on the evidence presented. If the decision is to revoke or suspend your clearance, you have the right to appeal.  

A lawyer experienced in federal employment and security clearance law can play a crucial role throughout this process.
