Financial Support for Affected Borrowers
The federal government is currently in a shutdown, resulting in a temporary disruption of payments and labor for many federal employees. During this period, non-essential government operations are paused, and thousands of workers are either furloughed or required to work without immediate pay.
We understand that this situation can cause financial stress for individuals and families who rely on regular federal paychecks, as well as delays in certain public services and programs.
If you or your family have been impacted by the shutdown, we have some solutions that can help ease the burden during this time.
