Whether you work in the military or a highly classified industry that deals in sensitive information, security clearance allows access to the necessary resources, services, and individuals that help you carry out the functions of your job. Those who work in these fields must demonstrate a certain level of responsibility by paying their just debts.  Filing for bankruptcy is a legal procedure to resolve debt issues which will protect one’s security clearance and retain their job.  Below, this topic is explored in more detail, as well as the role a bankruptcy attorney can play in security clearance-related issues.

By successfully receiving a discharge notice thru bankruptcy, you will be able to retain your security clearance and keep your job.

Bankruptcy might also be viewed as a positive step since you are taking control of your financial affairs and unmanageable debt. Don't automatically assume that seeking bankruptcy assistance means you’ll lose security clearance.
