In development for federal employees
The government may shut down.
Your paycheck shouldn’t.
You keep serving. We help keep life moving. We’re developing a membership to help federal employees face shutdown pay uncertainty with greater financial predictability.
Free to join the list. Membership is still being developed.
A paycheck can pause.
Everyday life keeps going.
The public servant is the hero.
Federal employees do work the country depends on. A political funding deadline shouldn’t make it harder to plan life at home.
Shutdown Hero exists to have their back. Our mission is to help federal employees and their families find greater financial stability when a shutdown interrupts normal pay.
Our focus is the people affected, and our mission is politically neutral.
Read our missionBuilding the experience, step by step.
We’ve built an internal prototype that walks through the member experience, from getting set up to navigating interrupted pay and backpay. Using fictional data, we’re testing the everyday steps and the situations that need extra care.
That work is helping us prepare for discussions with potential banking partners and identify what needs to be agreed before launch.
Membership and financial assistance are not available yet. Joining the early-access list is free and does not enroll you.
