If I am a Delta Community member and my income and/or employment status is adversely affected as result of an involuntary furlough, job change or layoff, participation in a voluntary leave of absence, severance, or early retirement program, can I keep my Credit Union membership?

Yes. Once you are member of Delta Community, you are always a member and maintain all the privileges of membership, provided you do not voluntarily close your account or cause the Credit Union a loss.

Will my consumer loans be immediately called due and payable if my income and/or employment status is adversely affected as result of an involuntary furlough, job change or layoff, or participation in a voluntary leave of absence, severance or early retirement program?

No. Your obligations under the terms of your loan agreement will remain the same.
