Which of the following is NOT considered a change in cleared employee status that must be reported?

A promotion is not considered a change in cleared employee status that requires reporting to the appropriate authorities. Changes in a cleared employee's status that must be reported typically include significant life events or conditions that might affect their eligibility for access to classified information. A citizenship change indicates a major alteration in the individual’s legal standing, while a death obviously ends their clearance status. A name change can also be significant, especially in maintaining accurate records and identification related to security clearances.

In contrast, a promotion generally pertains to the individual's job role or position within the company and does not inherently affect their clearance status or eligibility to access classified information. As such, while it's important for organizations to maintain accurate records of employee designations, a promotion alone does not trigger the same level of scrutiny or reporting requirements as the other listed events.
