Continuing Family Support During a Government Shutdown (Military Community and Family Policy provides quality of life programs to service members and their families worldwide. Our programs and services range from commissaries, exchanges and MWR to child and youth centers, family programs and centers, and family advocacy. A shutdown would furlough much of our global workforce and affect programs, some more than others. We have identified those family support missions and functions that will continue during a shutdown. This includes a list of some of our programs and how they would operate.)
Most military members have already received their pay notices for the pay that they're due to receive on the 15th of this month and noticed it's half of what it should be. They are essentially only being paid through the 8th of April. Here is a Statement on Guard/Reserve Pay from the Department of Defense Finance and Accounting Service. After that, Military Sends Out Half-Pay Notices to War Zone Troops.
Notice from USAA: We are committed to being there for our members when they need us the most. USAA has several potential solutions in place that may assist members through the duration of a shutdown. These solutions will vary based upon individual member situations, but members could receive temporary assistance such as: payment deferrals, late fee waivers, flexible payment arrangements or term modifications.
Notice From Operation Homefront: ATTENTION RE:FINANCIAL ISSUES DUE TO POTENTIAL GOVT SHUTDOWN: Sect. 523 of Servicemembers Civil Relief Act enables a court to reduce or waive late fees, etc. for ACTIVE DUTY service members if inability to pay is materially related to service. You can contact lenders/landlords to request relief from fees that may accrue. Seek legal assistance, if necessary-http://legalassistance.law.af.mil/content/locator.php
