It's likely a policy to better facilitate transitions to contractors. Many employees that leave government service with a security clearance end up in a job with a contractor that may require a clearance, or they may go to another government job. By allowing them to carry their clearance for a period of time after leaving service it prevents a large backlog of clearance processing as they take up new positions.
