GovExec Daily: Money Issues and Security Clearances
ClearanceJobs.com editor Lindy Kyzer joins the podcast to talk about how financial problems can derail the process.

In 2016, for example, financial issues were the biggest cause of clearance denial, resulting in more than double the amount of denials than any other adjudicative criteria. So, what should security clearance seekers mind while they’re going through the process?
Lindy Kyzer is the editor of ClearanceJobs.com, a former Defense Department employee and a GovExec contributor. She joined the podcast to discuss how your finances could affect the security clearance process.
