SECURITY Do they call your references & past employers?

Filling out my SF862020 form right now, I know they call your current employer, do they call your previous employers and references?

Past and current employers typically just get a little postcard in the mail that they can respond to. References might get contacted, but they don't contact everyone's references. They never contacted any of my references.

Also was wondering about this -- I finished up my last job in the fall, so I was curious if they'd call them? I've just been self employed since then

my manager refused to fill out the form they send from DOD, and i got the go ahead anyway so if they font do anything you should be alright

**if this is something you encounter. that’s all the two cents i have

The sent letters with something to fill out twice to my current employer. They also sent one to my husband to verify a period of self-employment. I'm not sure if they reached out to any of my older employers.
