You could have been in the OPM database being a janitor at the VA.

Although that wording about "Clearance level" does seem to suggest more than just the baseline government employee background check.

Yeah, that’s the part I’m curious about: there are plenty of “public trust” or SBU roles that I’d expect to have been leaked with the OPM breach that are “cleared” in the pop sense of the word, but are not actual clearances in the US Government’s sense.
