Federal workers affected by the shutdown get interest-free loans up to three months' pay from two banks.
Federal workers impacted by the ongoing government shutdown are receiving temporary financial assistance through 0% interest loan programs launched by Timberline Bank in Colorado and First Dakota National Bank in South Dakota.
Both initiatives aim to help affected employees cover expenses until pay resumes, with loans covering up to three months of net pay and no fees.
Timberline Bank’s program is available to eligible federal workers in its Western Slope branches, while First Dakota’s is open to workers in its service areas.
The programs, modeled on a 2019 effort, are being offered as goodwill gestures, with no set end date for either.
