Keesler Federal Launches Paycheck Relief

All members who are federal government employees with direct deposit are eligible

BILOXI, Miss., Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of Keesler Federal Credit Union announced a "Paycheck Relief Program" on Thursday that advances the amount of direct deposit paychecks for all eligible federal employees affected by the government shutdown.

There is no charge for members to participate. Members need simply sign up for the Paycheck Relief program on the Keesler Federal website. Once enrolled, a member will receive ongoing payroll deposits up to a maximum of 90 days.

"The government shutdown created stress and financial instability for thousands of our members, so we wanted to stand up for our members in a way that will give them peace of mind," said Board Chairman James Hollingsworth.

To be eligible for Paycheck Relief, the member must be a federal government employee in good standing whose direct deposit was processed into an active account for the last three pay cycles. The offer is also available for members at Jefferson Financial Federal Credit Union, which is merging with Keesler Federal.
