Once the fingerprints are done and the applicant has submitted the T1 (or other applicable investigation) in PSIP, a CAC can and should be issued to applicant on an interim basis to prevent delay of work and excess cost to the government as a result. If the employee does not have a valid background investigation, the government will initiate the T1 as long as the contract does NOT require the contractor to have access to classified information. Once the TI investigation is open in Defense Information Security System (DISS), (between 2-4 weeks) an interim CAC eligibility is either granted or denied and an email will go out to the Supervisor, FSO, Sponsor, COR, MPASM and MPAS advising eligibility.
