VA Statement


VA Statement


You are applying for a position that involves working on electronic systems that have access to Veteran Administration (“VA”) systems. Therefore, in addition to the pre-employment background investigation you must undergo a VA background investigation. This requires you to submit an application describing the previous 7 years of your life and to provide proof of U.S. citizenship in the form of a certified birth certificate, certificate of naturalization, current passport, form FS-240 or form DS-1350. The VA will then review this paperwork and verify your citizenship. This process takes several months to complete. During this time, the VA will grant interim access to U.S. citizens allowing them to work for TriWest until their background investigation is completed. However, the VA will not authorize interim access for non-U.S. citizens. If you are unable to obtain interim access or pass the background investigation, you are not qualified for this position and TriWest will withdraw any offer of employment or terminate your employment immediately.
