Best Answer

The actual cost of a clearance varies on multiple things. If you are capable of passing a simple automated background check, a secret clearance can be very simple. a TS/SCI becomes more complex, requiring personal interviews and a more in-depth, personnel-driven examination of your history.

A secret clearance generally utilizes the NACLC, ANACI, NACI (automated checks) and MBI/BI (types of non-automated investigations). Reinvestigation for an existing clearance requires a PRI (periodic reinvestiation).

A TS/SCI usually involves all of the above, in addition to one or more SSBI (single-scope background investigations) and an SSBI-PR (periodic re-evaluation of your SSBI)

Generally, expect your employer to spend approximately $5,000 for a secret clearance and $10,000 for a TS/SCI or Q. If your employer wants it done quickly, there are additional fees for rush processing.

What is a top secret security clearance worth?

A Federal "Top Security" Clearance can be worth a lot and shouldn't be looked at in terms of monetary benefit. A Q-clearance (DOE/NRC etc...) which allows you access to TS information can take over a year to receive if you have a lot of foreign travel or contact. Therefore, when an employer is looking at resumes, having a security clearance that is already active could mean that you would be a profitable employee right away versus an employee who would be unproductive while waiting for their clearance. However, if you still want a dollar amount, I was informed by my supervisor that a level L (Secret) clearance is worth around $6,000 while a level Q (Top Secret) is worth around twice that much so $12,000. Obviously this could change, however there is a rough estimate for you. Here is a salary survey specifically on the value of security clearances http://www.clearancejobs.com/salary/

How much would health insurance cost an employer for ten employees if the employer were to pay half the cost?

Too many variables. It depends on the plan, cost of living in the area, etc. However, the average cost of a health plan for a single person in the US is about $5,000 a year. So the employer would pay about $2500 per year or $48 a week per employee (based on single). Average family plan is about $13,000 a year total cost.

What is scif clearance?

"SCIF clearance" refers to having the necessary security clearance and "need-to-know" to be present in a SCIF without it being "sanitized" prior to entry and without escort. SCIF is an acronym used by the US military to refer to a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. Typically access to such a facility requires a TS/SCI (top-secret special compartmented information) clearance specifically for the SCI (Sensitive Comparmented Information) being processed within the facility. SCI is not a "classification" so it is actually possible for information to be SCI but classified at the Secret or even Confidential level, although this is much less common than for Top-Secret information. SCI is based on the principle of "need-to-know" rather than the degree of damage that would occur if the information was disclosed (which is how Confidential, Secret, and Top-Secret classifications are assigned).
