I think I would like to know more about this rumor of federal employees being required to achieve and then maintain a 620 median credit report score to stay on with any federal job... note I said rumor, I have yet to find a press release that confirms this...

I believe that is just a rumor and nothing else.
However, now that I think about it... is not such a bad idea 
Said that, some employers check the applicant's credit score to decide if they should hire someone or not. Better to have good credit, avoid bankrupcy and keep debt under control.

Personally, I doubt I would want to work for or with someone who judged people based on a credit score. I know plenty of people who aren't all that great with money and who's credit is a wreck, but they are still some of the most hard working dependable people I personally know.
I realise there are some studies done that relate bad credit with certain other bad traits, but a score that can often times be in error should never be a basis for judging a person fit for employment.
