Obtain and Maintain Your Security Clearance

For government employees, contractors, and any other individuals whose roles require access to classified information, obtaining a security clearance is just the first step. The ongoing responsibility of maintaining eligibility for that clearance is equally important and involves adhering to strict protocols designed to protect national security.

Join Tully Rinckey Managing Partner Ryan Nerney for an informative webinar on the most effective strategies for obtaining and maintaining a security clearance. This session will provide practical guidance on navigating common clearance issues and avoiding pitfalls that can lead to delays, denials, or revocations.

Ryan will review the most common security clearance violations, including foreign influence and foreign preference concerns under Guidelines B and C, financial considerations such as taxes, student loans, and consumer debt under Guideline F, and the impact of using “legal” marijuana under Guideline H.

Topics to be discussed during the webinar include:

• Guidelines B and C (foreign influence from friends and family in/from other countries);

• Guideline F (taxes, student loans, and consumer debt); 

• Guideline H (using legal marijuana and recent changes in 2026); and

• Guideline K (handling protected information).
