FAQ

What is Adverse Action?

It’s the formal process of notifying a candidate that a job offer may be withdrawn due to background screening results—governed by the FCRA and applicable state laws.

Do I need to send both pre-adverse and final letters?

Yes. Employers must issue a pre-adverse notice, wait the required time, and then send a final adverse letter if the decision stands.

Can CIC help with unique cases or state-specific issues?

Yes. Our team provides tailored support and updated templates to ensure compliance across all applicable jurisdictions.
