Members thankful for assistance during government shutdown.

The U. S. House of Representatives Tuesday passed H. Res. 77, expressing the sense of Congress that “financial institutions and other companies should work proactively with their customers affected by the shutdown of the Federal Government.”

Credit union services to federal workers affected by the government shutdown continued to attract the notice of policymakers this week, with several referring constituents to CUNA, league and credit union resources.

Legislators around the country continue to send furloughed federal workers to local credit unions for financial assistance as the government shutdown continues, and are also thanking local credit unions and leagues on social media.

In response, credit unions large and small implemented the Unite for Good principle of service excellence, offering a range of assistance to federal employees.
