I am kind of a funny middle ground, I have something on my record that is not disqualifying, and not expungeable. I listed it. ( county level charge not able to be expunged )MSP considers anything but “yes” to be a false statement on an official application and grounds for denial. (Even if the offense on the record isn’t disqualifying.)
That’s where the discrepancy rises- application says “no” to the questions “have you EVER been arrested/charged/convicted?”
I also have an expungement that would have been disqualifying, but was expunged and I did not list it. ( wrong place wrong time, found guilty 18 month max misd iirc none given)
I got approved quickly ( I am one of the first 25 day people ). Now I also sent in the expungement when I got my hql years ago so they might have already cleared that.
