Continuous Evaluation Process
Commitment to the Continuous Evaluation Program (CEP) requires commands to use JPAS to report questionable or unfavorable information that may be relevant to a security determination. According to SECNAV M-5510.30 Chapter 10, individuals must report to their supervisor or appropriate security official and seek assistance for any incident or situation which could affect their continued eligibility for access to classified information. Co-workers have an obligation to advise their supervisor or appropriate security official when they become aware of information with potential security clearance significance. Supervisors and managers play a critical role in assuring the success of the CEP. The goal is early detection of an individual's problems. Supervisors are in a unique position to recognize problems early and must react appropriately to ensure balance is maintained regarding the individual's needs and national security requirements.
Reports submitted through JPAS must be complete and provide all the facts pertaining to the incident(s). If there is an occasion in which all the facts are unavailable, commands should briefly cite the incident and advise a complete report with supporting documentation will be mailed to the DONCAF. This will ensure a more timely adjudication and eliminate the need for the adjudicator to hold the case in suspense while requesting additional information. Special Security Officers (SSOs) must submit a Security Access Eligibility Report (SAER), with amplifying information, and a command endorsement for continued SCI eligibility/access.
