USAA is offering a one-time, low-interest loan to active members of the U.S. Coast Guard; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Corps; and Public Health Service Corps personnel whose pay is disrupted. The loan interest is 0.26 percent APR, but may be reduced to as low as 0.01 percent APR with the optional Automatic Payment Plan.

The USAA is also making additional special offers available to help all members affected by the partial government shutdown.

American Portfolios Financial Services recently donated $25,000 in earmarked funds to the Long Island Cares campaign. The donation is designated for the express purpose of assisting federal employees affected by the government shutdown.

Long Island Cares, Inc., founded in 1980 by the late singer/songwriter and social activist Harry Chapin, provides nutritional food and support services for a network of more than 580 community-based member agencies. The organization has locations in Freeport, Lindenhurst and Huntington Station, N.Y.

Wells Fargo & Company, the fourth-largest bank in America, is not standing idle during the shutdown either. The San Francisco-based bank is offering relief to impacted customers and community members through fee reversals and waivers, as well as a generous donation of $250,000 to the United for U.S. Coalition.

“Our $250,000 donation to seed the creation of the United for U.S. Coalition will help meet the basic needs of those facing personal hardships at this time,” said Tim Sloan, Wells Fargo CEO and president.

The bank will work with customers whose income is disrupted as a result of the shutdown. Customers should call the newly-established customer assistance line at (800) 219-9739 to be connected with a team member who can assist them, or visit any Wells Fargo branch for assistance. Information also is available on the company’s website by visiting https://www.wellsfargo.com/help/government-shutdown/.

U.S. Bank, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, is offering qualified federal employees short-term loans from as small an amount as $100, to as much as $6,000. Customers with any U.S. Bank product, including mortgages, auto loans or the bank’s credit cards, are welcome to apply for the new product.

The loans are being offered at a 0.01 percent APY on a 12-month term, and loan approval is dependent upon credit approval and program guidelines.

The special loan is not available to federal contract workers affected by the shutdown.
