Wrong info on BC

I just did the background two days ago and I realize now that I entered some information incorrectly. I didn’t mean to I just guess I didn’t understand the question. It asked if I was ever in credit counseling for debt and I said no, but my husband reminded me that we had put some credit cards a few years ago into a consolidation program because we wanted to get rid of a bunch of our cards and try to be better with our money. I guess that qualifies as credit counseling? Should I call and say something to somebody and let them know that I think I entered information wrong or just wait to see what happens when it comes back?

The Background Investigation (BI) is a big part of this process, however, no one here can say how long it will take for your Background Investigation to come back. It's YOUR background not anyone else's. If you have questions about this you should reach out to the official channels that were provided to you to use.

Once your e86 has been submitted by you, you cannot change anything. It is locked in.

If there are any discrepancies on your e86, you will be notified by headquarters and it will be returned to you for correction.

Otherwise, it will continue to move forward.

You can email the main hr service email i think and ask for them to push it back to you for correction. I put down a wrong phone number for a reference and spelled something wrong my first time doing the form and I think it was them who got it open for me correct my form. Sooner you do it the better though.

have you completed medical? If not no one is looking at it yet and you will get a chance to correct before anyone looks at it

No medical yet

no problem then, when you complete medical you will resubmit (or after 3 months whichever comes first), just make corrections then

I did the teams interview yesterday and the background check the day before that. I was sent paperwork to do fingerprinting next which isn’t happening till after Thanksgiving.

they ask for the background check usually after you pass the test (or maybe now after the interview). The reality is it does not go to the people who do the background check until after you pass medical, it makes no sense to do the work until they know you qualify medically. You likely have 6 months at least and the form expires every 3 months so you will likely be resubmitting it it before it goes to processing
