This article fells sorry for those with low credit scores. I see it differently. 1. You should keep your stuff squared away. 2. If you have a clearance, you are putting yourself and national security information at risk. This is how espionage happens, our enemies look for our weakness to exploit.

I agree...there are more things you have to report when it happens not just financial data. However, all of these would have been reported at the 5 and 10 year marks anyway...the govt is just capturing them as they happen versus waiting on many years to pass before making an adjudication.

Good thing is the new program of continuous evaluation and FIN records can be checked anytime. My wife was a bank manage and they did a credit check every month on her. The gov can protect classified better.

As someone who regularly performed personnel background investigations on SF-86 forms for the SSBIs of Coasties needing security clearances, and that included enlisted AND officers, I (we) always included a thorough look at a person's financial history. Excessive debt, number of open accounts, payment history, bankruptcies, et al. Nothing escape our focus.
