GEICO may also elect to obtain information about your character, general reputation, and mode of living, through personal interviews with friends, neighbors, and acquaintances (an "Investigative Consumer Report"). If we decide to order an Investigative Consumer Report, you will receive further notice regarding your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act within three days of the Investigative Consumer Report being ordered.
If you have specific concerns regarding your background and would like further information, please call the office to which you've applied and ask to speak with the Human Resources manager.
Why does GEICO look at credit history when making employment decisions?
We obtain information from criminal background checks and consumer credit reporting agencies in order to maintain federal compliance with the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. This federal act regulates how insurance companies operate in the United States and also prohibits persons convicted of certain crimes or severe financial situations from being considered for employment in the insurance industry.
If you have specific questions regarding credit, please call the office to which you've applied and speak with the Human Resources manager.
What happens if I do not pass the credit history check?
If employment is denied either wholly or partially because of information in a Consumer Report, GEICO will advise you in writing, and give you the name and address of the reporting agency making the Consumer Report, a copy of the Report and a copy of a "Summary of Your Rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act."

GEICO conducts drug screens by hair analysis (in most locations) as part of the pre-employment screening process.
