Short-Term Assistance Loan

Members who need immediate financial assistance are eligible for a short-term zero-percent interest loan with amounts up to $5,000. No payments are due for 90 days, and the balance is paid in low monthly installments over the following 25 months.

Loan Payment Deferrals and Skip-a-Payment

If you’re facing delayed pay, F&A is offering loan payment deferrals, modifications, or skip-a-payment on an individualized basis at no additional cost or impact to members.

Fee Waivers

For those impacted by the shutdown, F&A will waive late or other fees to minimize financial disruption.
