personal data collection to facilitate the 

initiation, investigation and 

adjudication of information relevant to 

DoD security clearances and 

employment suitability determinations 

for active duty military, civilian 

employees and contractors requiring 

such credentials. As a Personnel 

Security System it is the authoritative 

source for clearance information 

resulting in accesses determinations to 

sensitive/classified information and 

facilities. Specific uses include: 

Facilitation for DoD Adjudicators and 

Security Managers to obtain accurate 

up-to-date eligibility and access 

information on all personnel (military, 

civilian and contractor personnel) 

adjudicated by the DoD. The DoD 

Adjudicators and Security Managers are 

also able to update eligibility and access 

levels of military, civilian and 

contractor personnel nominated for 

access to sensitive DoD information. 

Security Managers working in private 

companies that contract with DoD and 

who need access to the JPAS system to 

update security-related information 

about their company’s employees must 

complete DD Form 2962 to access the 

system. Completion of the form assures 

JPAS users have the required need-toknow, security clearance, and requires 

applicants accept the responsibility to 

abide by relevant DoD regulations, laws 

and account management policies 

necessary to access the system. 

DD Form 2962: To Grant Security 

Manager Applicants Access To JPAS 

System 

Affected Public: Business or other for

Annual Responses: 44,000.

The Joint Personnel Adjudication 

System (JPAS) is a DoD personnel 

security system and is the authoritative 

source for clearance information 

resulting in access determinations to 

sensitive/classified information and 

facilities. Collection and maintenance of 

personal data in JPAS is required to 

facilitate the initiation, investigation 

and adjudication of information relevant 

to DoD security clearances and 

employment suitability determinations 

for active duty military, civilian 

employees, and contractors requiring 

such credentials. Security Managers 

working in private companies that 

contract with DoD and who need access 

to the JPAS system to update securityrelated information about their 

company’s employees must complete 

DD Form 2962 to access the system. 

Once granted access, the Security 

Managers maintain employee personal 

information, submit requests for 

investigations, and submit other 

relevant personnel security information 

into JPAS on over 500,000 contract 

employees annually.
