**I'm asking on behalf of someone else, so I don't have specifics to provide**:

Has anyone ever been hired by DoDEA with a past poor credit history or discharged bankruptcy? Do most applicants get denied with these issues?

Also, what does the medical clearance through eqip look at/consider?

Thank you all for your help!
haha Yes, I know/know of many people who were hired with past/current poor credit and/or bankruptcies.
