Abstract: All Secret Service employees require a Top Secret clearance, and over 60% require Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) Access. Because of this requirement, the Secret Service conducts a more extensive background investigation than the standard Office of Personnel Management regulated Single-Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) required for the granting of a Top Secret clearance. Secret Service Form (SSF) 86A, Supplemental Investigative Data, which is completed during the application process, provides additional information to the data collected from SF 86, Questionnaire for National Security Positions to aide in granting a Top Secret clearance.
