Reinvestigation is triggered by which of the following in addition to other periodic triggers?

• A. Annual pay raise
• B. Change of political party
• C. Reemployment
• D. Completion of training

Answer: (C)

Reinvestigation is triggered by reemployment because returning to government service after a break requires updating the individual's background to capture any new information that could affect clearance eligibility. When someone is rehired, investigators review updated financial records, criminal history, associations, and lifestyle changes that may have occurred since the last investigation, ensuring ongoing suitability for access to sensitive information. The other options don’t typically prompt a reinvestigation: an annual pay raise is a payroll change, not a trustworthiness assessment; a change of political party isn’t used as a standard trigger for rechecking eligibility; completion of training is a milestone, not a new risk factor that would necessitate reevaluation.
