Service Credit Union to offer assistance for those affected by a government shutdown

PORTMOUTH, N.H., Jan. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Service Credit Union is committed to helping its members who are affected during the government shutdown.

For those with direct deposit, Service Credit Union will post credits to members based on the postings nearest to January 1, 2018. The credit of that amount will take place on or before February 1, 2018.

This will apply to all military, Government Service (GS) civilians and social security recipients. Once the government resumes posting payrolls, Service Credit Union will reverse this special one-time posting that was made.

If members do not receive the automatic direct deposit posting, Service Credit Union will offer a no-interest 6-month loan up to $3,000 to those who qualify.

"Credit unions are owned by the members they serve and we need to help when our members need us the most," Service Credit Union President/CEO David Van Rossum said. "The credit union should assist all members adversely affected by a government shutdown, especially our military and their families."
