Navy Federal to Support Eligible Members During Government Shutdown

Business Wire
Navy Federal Credit Union has announced a plan to cover direct
deposit for eligible members as the government shutdown goes into
effect on January 20. The credit union is offering assistance to
Active Duty military, Coast Guard and DoD civilian members who have
an established direct deposit with Navy Federal. Those members can
opt in to a special program and receive coverage of their direct
deposit of net pay if they’re affected.
“Our members are part of an important community,” said Tynika
Wilson, senior vice president of debit card and fund services at
Navy Federal. “They protect our freedoms, so it’s vital we do the
right thing by covering their paychecks.”
Program registration begins today on Navy Federal’s website, in
branches or by phone at 1-888-842-6328. Wilson urged eligible
members to register so their pay is covered. Members impacted by
the shutdown who don’t meet the eligibility requirements should
visit a branch or call to discuss their situation with a
representative.
“We make sure our members are well prepared and taken care of,”
said Wilson. “This is just one more way we can offer our support.”
Navy Federal helped its members in similar situations in April 2011
and September 2013.
