HSPD-12 adjudications determine what?

• A. Who is eligible for federal employment
• B. Who may be issued credentials for physical access to DoD facilities or logical access to information systems
• C. Whether someone is suitable for employment
• D. The reinvestigation interval

Answer: (B)

HSPD-12 adjudications determine who may be issued credentials for physical access to DoD facilities or logical access to information systems. This process uses background information and other checks to decide whether an individual can be trusted with a government-provided credential that enables entry to facilities or access to secured systems. It’s about the credentialing decision itself, not about whether someone is eligible for federal employment or how often their background must be reinvestigated. Employment eligibility (suitability) involves a different determination, and reinvestigation intervals are set by policy, not by whether a credential can be issued.
