For Coasties stationed around the world, personal emergencies can mean major travel expenses. When a family member is seriously ill or dies, CGMA can help with the cash for travel, food, and lodging.

A new rental apartment or house requires first and last month’s rent and/or a security deposit. That means thousands of dollars you may not have saved, especially if you are moving from a lower cost-of-living area to a higher one. CGMA can help with an interest-free loan to ease the transition.

A Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move is full of challenges and unexpected expenses. One way CGMA helps is to assist with childcare costs during this busy time.

You are ready for A-School. Your uniform is not ready for A-School. CGMA wants to help you look your best when transferring from an operational unit to A-School. Borrow funds to replace that non-serviceable work uniform and delay repayment until A-School is complete.

The government issues thousands of paychecks, entitlements, and travel claims every day. Sometimes yours is the one that is stuck in red tape, system outages, processing delays, or unexplained problems. CGMA can loan you the cash you need until the government payment is complete.

We know how important home is to Coast Guard members who must find a new one so frequently. You’ve worked hard to find and qualify for a house. Now CGMA can help with the final piece: closing costs.

When moving out of the continental U.S. (OCONUS), it can take some time to receive your privately owned vehicle (POV). In the meantime, CGMA will help with a loan of up to $1,000 to rent a car.

It’s not easy being a Coast Guard spouse. It can be a challenge to find a new job in a new location, especially if there are state-specific certifications, credentials, or licenses involved. CGMA is here to help meet the requirements in your new state.

CGMA considers pets an essential part of the Coast Guard family. We’re here to help when pet expenses are overwhelming.

CGMA offers a loan to help ship your Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) during a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move.
