Being eligible for a clearance is binary on the current investigation.

Holding an active clearance is dependent on being read in, which is dependent on being eligible and having a need to know.

Also, having an expired investigation is synonymous with having no investigation. If you miss the window to re-investigate you start from 0.

Interesting, thanks for the update.

I always figured that for Secret level, at least, it seemed like a not-too-detailed investigation. No interviews, anyways.
