They already did a light background check on you or will in the next couple days. That's what the prints and taxes are for. It's an immediate first impression suitability determination for certain automatic disqualifiers.
The rest of the background information is for clearance, or even just public trust. They may have a policy of clearing you for a certain level, but only grant you a lower level. They won't grant you access to much of the job until you clear, but you can start the job and begin training while they do the in-depth analysis.
If this is your first BI, even a public trust BI may take up to 9 months or more. If you've had a BI, and the information is transferable, then it should take less than 6 months.
If you read the Department of Defense appeals, you'd notice that no one is appealing loss of clearance for being fired from a previous job. However, they do lose their clearance if it's determined they intentionally withheld information or lied.
Yeah, as a federal employee; I doubt very seriously if you will lose your employment based on being fired from previous job. Just be honest; especially with your dates of employment. They are just trying to verify. Honesty is the key.
