Disaster Relief Program

We are committed to helping members recover when they are affected by natural disasters. 

If you need help obtaining an extension or forbearance for a current loan with the Credit Union or accessing additional funds, please call 800-782-8782.

 

Consumer Loan Extension 

If you have an existing auto, personal, or solar loan, or a personal line of credit, you may qualify for a loan term extension of up to 90 days. The missed payments are added to the end of the loan.

If you are granted an extension on your consumer loan, your missed payments are considered current during the extension and your credit will not be affected. 

Mortgage Forbearance

If you have an existing Credit Union mortgage, you may qualify to delay payments. Members who qualify can choose how many mortgage payments to skip (from three up to nine) and the length of time to pay back the missed payments once the forbearance period is over (12, 24, or 36 months).

Please keep in mind that mortgage payments will increase once the forbearance period is over and the repayment period starts.

If you are granted mortgage forbearance, your missed payments are considered current during the forbearance period and your credit will not be affected.
