I received a TS/SCI job offer upon which I turned down for personal reasons. However, I'd completed a full-scope polygraph in the process and was wondering if I'm eligible for federal contracting roles. Does anybody know how I can determine my clearance status?

"Federal Contracting" is just a job for 99% of people so unless you have a disqualifying condition, yes, you can apply to jobs.

If you re asking if you have a clearance now, that is different. It is highly unlikely that the agency you were applying to completed the background investigation and adjudication process required for your clearance if you turned down the offer. Those things cost money. AS far as your poly goes, in general they are considered "good" for up to two years but that is also if your clearance is complete. You likely went though a screening poly meant to assist the background investigation. Once the investigation is complete they would then generate a new poly based on any issues uncovered in the investigation, if necessary.

All that is a long way to say that it is unlikely you have a completed clearance but you are further along than most and if you sought out another cleared position it would be easier (read less expensive) for someone to hire you.

I guessed who it was. They are the only ones who do preemployment poly. If they made you an offer your poly was clean but that still doesnt mean anyone else will accept it and without a clearance its not really a help.

Good luck

Security clearances remain active when there is a demonstrated need for access to classified information. If you left employment or changed positions, your clearance may no longer be active. To determine the current status of your security clearance, please contact the agency’s personnel security office that granted your clearance. If you are a contract employee, your company’s facility security officer may also be able to assist you.

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
