    Does anyone have a template example of a successful letter used for G&S?
    A couple coworkers are asking me about what info the MSP wants to see. It seems they are able to get the FSO to write a letter. :party29:

    What is the G&S? They just need to emphasize the sensitive job duties and the risks that accompany such duties. It's not that complicated.

    My understanding is that it needs to say you are cleared for TS or higher AND that you have access on a regular/daily basis.

    Active TS or above, reoccurring/ daily access, OPM breach info., although never mentioned during interview. Keep G&S short.

    Example: Active TS clearance with [agency/department], victim of OPM breach, daily access to classified information within [geographical location (e.g., Ft. Meade)].

    Provide OPM letter and references. If you can get the FSO to be a reference it’ll move faster. FSO will need to in-writing and verbally affirm access and level of clearance. Your supervisor will also need to concur. MSP will provide instructions on format.

    How does one get those instructions from the MSP?

    I've seen a lot of people sharing the restrictions they've been given along with their permit. What sort of restrictions are typically imposed using this method?

    NSA Police had a meeting with MSP some months ago. NSAP explained that all employees have a TS clearance. NSA would therefore provide a Verification of Employment letter and MSP would accept that as G&S. The letter does not mention clearance information.

    Unfortunately, MSP isn't accepting the verification letter.

    Interesting, considering they met on the topic. However, MSP was specific in the format and it had to state clearance level. It doesn’t need to include special access. TS//SCI is sufficient. Folks put more than that on Cleared Jobs.
