SPFCU Offers Member Support During Government Shutdown

(Sleepy Eye, MN – October 2, 2025) – With the federal government currently shut down, SouthPoint Financial Credit Union is offering eligible SouthPoint members who are impacted by paycheck disruptions to take advantage of their Paycheck Assistance Program.
The Paycheck Assistance Program is designed for federal government employees, active-duty service members, and federal government contractors paid directly by the federal government who have their paychecks deposited with SouthPoint Financial Credit Union and will experience a disruption in income due to the shutdown.
“It is very unsettling to know that we might have members who are affected financially by this government shutdown,” said Jay Gostonzcik, CEO and President. “It’s important to us to let our members know that even in the most challenging times, we are here to provide unwavering support, in the best way that we can.”
Eligible members will be able to apply for the Paycheck Assistance Program starting Thursday, October 2, 2025, via SouthPoint’s website, in-person at any SouthPoint branch location, or over the phone at 877-794-6712.
