Summary
A 40-year-old defense contractor employee was denied eligibility for a public trust position due to financial considerations under Guideline F. The applicant faced concerns stemming from 12 delinquent debts, primarily student and auto loans, totaling over $34,000. A state tax lien from 2015 for $2,803 was also cited.
