If you ever run into an active duty soldier who mentions going to the loan sharks - let them know about this.
Commanders' Referral Program
This program is intended for Commanders to use as a tool to assist their Soldiers with living expenses or short term problems who may otherwise use payday lending establishments.
- Soldiers who are lacking funds to meet their financial obligations may request a loan of up to $1,000.00.
- Loans are interest free and may be repaid over a 12 month period.
- Obtaining funds under this program is quick and easy. In many cases, Soldiers can receive a check the same day at the AER office.
- A slide presentation detailing the program is available for review at http://www.hoodmwr.com/acs/frb.html.
For more information, contact your battalion Command Financial Specialist or the Army Community Service Financial Readiness Branch's AER office at 288-5003.
ACS Financial Readiness Program is part of the MWR family of facilities and services.
