Quick Loan
Quick Loans are interest-free loans of $1,500 or less, designed to address
immediate, essential financial needs while requiring fewer steps and potentially
less detailed documentation than the standard assistance request process. The
Quick Loan Program gives commanding officers and officers-in-charge a way to
quickly address temporary financial problems that may arise amongst their crew.
It is not open to individuals who have an outstanding loan balance
with CGMA or who are on the CGMA Admin Hold status. An individual may
receive a maximum of two Quick Loans within any 12-month period. Assistance
requests not meeting these criteria must be processed through the standard
application process.
