• A. Reimbursable Suitability/Security Investigation
• B. Reimbursable Surveillance/Security Investigation
• C. Reimbursable Suitabilty/ Security Review
• D. Reimbursable Suitabilty/Security Investigation

Answer: (D)

RSI stands for Reimbursable Suitability/Security Investigation. This refers to a background check conducted to assess both an individual’s suitability for federal employment (character, reliability, trustworthiness) and their eligibility for access to sensitive or classified information. The “reimbursable” part means the cost of the investigation is paid by the requesting agency or organization, rather than by the agency performing the investigation. This type of investigation is used when an outside agency needs the background check and agrees to cover the expense. The essential point is that RSI is an investigative process focused on background information to determine eligibility, not surveillance or a simple review. The other terms describe different processes and would not establish eligibility in the same way. Note that the intended term is “Suitability,” and a minor typographical variation in print does not change the meaning.
