Misconceptions About Security Clearance Revocations Abound
A few weeks ago, Ann Boehm wrote an article about the benefits of employee reassignment – in certain situations, anyway. A fairly new MSPB NP decision dealt with an appellant who was removed for failing to maintain a security clearance, and claimed the agency should have been collaterally estopped from removing her. Part of the appellant’s argument was the agency should have considered a reassignment. Was she right? Nope.
MSPB indicated that “there is no policy, statute, or regulation requiring the reassignment of an agency employee who has failed to maintain a security clearance.”
