Financial Help and Other Resources for Feds Dealing with COVID-19

We want to be sure you know how to receive help and access resources through the Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund (FEEA), the only 501c3 charity by and for federal civilian employees. We encourage you to share this information with other federal employees and contact FEEA with any questions at emergency@feea.org.

FEEA is assisting federal employees during the coronavirus pandemic in three specific ways:

1. Providing grants up to $500 to feds earning less than $50,000/year, and no-fee, no-interest hardship loans of up to $1,000 to feds earning over $50,000/year, who have exhausted available leave and have LWOP due to their own or a family member’s serious illness with COVID-19.

Feds with salaries under $50,000/year may be eligible for a $500 grant/$500 loan combination. The salary limit for grants may be expanded if additional funding becomes available. Application is through the loan

2. Providing bridge grants to spouses and/or children of federal employees who have passed away due to COVID-19. Family members, HR representatives, or Union/Association leaders can email FEEA at emergency@feea.org for more information.
