Where does an individual's PCL eligibility reside after access is removed?

• A. In a local personnel file
• B. In the DOD personnel security system of record
• C. In the facility access log
• D. In the contractor's security portal

Answer: (B)

PCL eligibility is kept in the DOD personnel security system of record. This central, official repository ensures that the eligibility status persists and is accurately tracked even after access is removed, so the record can be referenced for future clearances or reactivations. Local personnel files, facility access logs, and a contractor’s security portal aren’t authoritative sources for PCL eligibility and may not be complete or globally visible across the DoD.
