If you lose your security clearance hearing or personal appearance, there are very limited grounds for appeal.
Once the denial or revocation becomes final, the individual has to wait at least a year (usually longer) to reapply. And the individual must have a sponsor to do so.

Security clearance hearings are legal proceedings.
- For DoD clearances, there will be a Security Clearance Judge from the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA). For other agencies, there are normally formally trained hearing officials.
- There are strict rules that must be followed by all parties at the hearing.
The Agency will send a lawyer or team to argue against you.
- For DOD clearances, a Department Counsel (DC) will be assigned. The DC is a trained lawyer who has handled hundreds of cases. The DC can object to evidence and will cross-examine you.
- Other agencies will send agency representatives to present evidence and ask you questions.
