To help meet the short-term loan needs of state employees, Virginia Credit Union has partnered with the state of Virginia to offer emergency loans ranging from $100 to $500.

Administered by the $1.8 billion Virginia CU and the Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign, the Virginia state employee loan program is available to active, classified full-time, non-probationary employees who have been employed with the Commonwealth of Virginia for at least 12 months. Employees who are paid on a monthly or semi-monthly are eligible.

Loans are available in increments of $100, up to a maximum of $500 with an annual percentage rate of 24.99% and repayment over an approximate six-month term. Employees may receive up to two loans per calendar year.

Loans will be backed by the Virginia State Employee Assistance Fund. Both CVC and VSEAF programs are funded solely from employee contributions, according to state officials.
