Part of the money raised by CECO is allocated to a special fund so government employees have a place to turn to when they need help.
The Crisis Fund assists employees who are on the active payroll and experiencing a “one-time financial crisis.” Applicants are expected to have met their basic needs, as well as any dependents’ needs, from their own resources prior to the current crisis. When the crisis is over, the applicants must again be able to meet the basic needs of their family.
The decision to grant funds is based on the following: the applicant’s eligibility, the applicant’s need, and the circumstances underlying the lack of resources.
Crisis Fund Procedure:
The decision to grant funds generally takes a week after receiving a completed application package. Payment for approved funds will be forwarded directly to the person or company owed money or to the person or company from who necessary items will be purchased.
