Corrections Officer ( In California )... now... would a Ch 13 hurt your security clearance? You'd think it wouldn't because you cannot take on any new debt. Hope someone here might be able help me out. Thx.

I do believe Bankruptcies have an effect on security clearances. Been a long while since I have had one (had one when I was in the Marines) and bankruptcies were an automatic failure for the position you may have been going for.
History is full of people who have had a rough money and credit history that have been easily bribed to do things that they never thought themselves capable of doing.....all for the sake of an extra buck.
not saying you would do such a thing.....but some places may look at it that way. depending on the job, mission and over all goal of the team.7/12/2001 Filed Chapter 13
