Check out the AFGE Shutdown page for updates and information on how Local members can take action. As we get more information on resources, we will update the list below.
| Filing for Unemployment TIPS | SF8 Form for Unemployment |
| Michigan Unemployment Information | Call Congress |
| Debt Settlement Help | AFGE FAQs |
| Resources for Terminated Employees | AFGE Shutdown Toolkit |
| Navy Federal CU (offering interest-free loans) | |
| TSP (consider a loan before relying on credit) |
We encourage members to CALL Congress and let your voices be heard. You can use the Script below as a starting point.
Hello, my name is [NAME], and I’m a federal employee and a member of AFGE.
I want you to know that federal workers have been through enough this year. We’ve faced mass layoffs, RIFs, DOGE cuts, confusing “five points” emails, and even being called unproductive. Every week feels like more chaos.
Federal workers deserve job security and dignity. We need Congress to restore our workforce and protect our right to unionize. That is the Continuing Resolution I want to see passed.
Stop the chaos, and give federal employees the stability we need to feed our families and serve the American people.
