Enrollment in the Government Shutdown Program

  1. Loan Amounts. Loan amounts are calculated based on the amount of the most recent direct deposit of pay that was made to your account prior to your pay interruption. The Loan Amount Eligibility Chart can help you determine how much you’re eligible to apply for.
    • Maximum loan amount: $6,000
    • 0% APR—no fees or interest charges associated with this loan
    • No credit check required
  2. Program Registration. For loan proceeds to be available on your scheduled pay date, you must register by the day before your scheduled pay date. We’ll continue accepting registrations until 3 days after your scheduled pay date.
  3. Disbursement. Loans will be available and disbursed only if the government fails to pay eligible members in connection with the government shutdown.
  4. Repayment. Once direct deposit of pay resumes, the amount credited to your account(s) will be deducted automatically as repayment.
