3 Loan assistance is limited to financial hardship caused by the government shutdown. Proof of Federal Government employment and suspension of pay is required. Loan applications must be submitted prior to public announcement of government reinstatement. Loans are subject to credit approval and additional terms may apply. This is a limited time offer and may end at any time.

This is not a commitment to lend.
