In the face of the federal shutdown -- which Congress is now lifting as I write -- Andrews Federal Credit Union just sent an e-mail offering "furlough relief loans" of up to $5,000 and at 0% interest -- a free loan -- for as long as 24 months, and no payments due in the first 90 days.

I see nothing int he formation saying that you actually have to show you have been furloughed.

Now that the shutdown is ending for the time being, I don't know that this is going to last long. But if you want to grab it this moment, it might still be available. It is still posted on their Website as I write:

https://andrewsfcu.org/furlough-relief-loan.html

Ken, I still don't get any tool showing when I post -- and so in the above, cannot hyperlink the URL, nor indent the quote below it as a block quote. Normally, I can do that if I subsequently use the Edit button, then the tools show, but even that is not working today.

I use Firefox 57.0.4 on macOS 10.12.6 Sierra.
