Maine federal workers support legislation for state-backed, no-interest loans during government shutdowns.
Maine federal workers support Senator Troy Jackson's legislation, providing state-backed, no-interest loans to employees during government shutdowns. The loans are repayable once the government reopens and retroactive paychecks are issued. The legislation aims to support workers' financial stability during shutdowns and the next funding deadline is March 22. The 2018 shutdown left federal employees without pay for 35 days.
