Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently released Phase 1 of his plan to reopen Florida. Phase 1 of the Florida plan goes into effect on Monday, May 4th.
Following the Governor’s Safe, Smart, Step-by-Step plan and guidance from the CDC, Eglin Federal Credit Union is finalizing plans to reopen our lobbies to members on a limited scale. Specific dates and details of those plans will be made available in the very near future.
Until our plans are announced, we encourage you to use our electronic services. Instructions for use can be found at https://www.eglinfcu.org/mobilesolutions/. Our call center is available to assist you by phone at 850-862-0111 or 800-367-6159.

The US Government is preparing to send economic stimulus payments to eligible individuals in the near future. Eglin Federal Credit Union wants to help you receive your payment with minimal effort and maximum security by providing these tips.
The economic stimulus payments will be processed in two ways: Direct Deposit or Treasury Check.
Direct Deposit
If you selected the direct deposit option on your most recent IRS tax return, your stimulus payment will be sent electronically to the same account that you specified on your tax return.
If there are no changes to the account information or ownership, you do not need to take any action. However, if the account information or ownership of the account has changed, please contact the IRS to update your information (See Filers below).
The Direct Deposit option is faster and more secure than the Treasury Check option as it eliminates the possibility of the check being lost or stolen in transit.
Treasury Check
If you requested a treasury check for your last tax refund, the IRS will mail a check to the address on your last tax return.
Paper checks can be deposited by using the Mobile Deposit feature in our mobile application, at an EFCU ATM or at a drive-up window.
Keep your personal information secure and remember that EFCU, or the IRS, will never call, email, or contact you via social media asking for your personally identifiable information or sensitive information.
Filers
Use the Get Your Payment application (coming mid-April) to:
Non-Filers
The IRS is adding a portal for non-tax filers to add their account information if the IRS does not already have your information on file.
Direct Deposit Set-Up
When adding or updating your account information for Direct Deposit, please enter your account number from your statement (not from your check or deposit slip) and select the checking or savings option. You do not need to add leading zeros.
General Information
General information can be found at Coronavirus Tax Relief and Economic Impact Payments.
Please check our website frequently for updates and information on how to prevent fraudulent activity on your accounts.

Yesterday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a stay-at-home order for the entire state. The order goes into effect today at midnight and will last for at least 30 days. The Governor's Executive Order Number 20-91 references the "essential services" list maintained by the US Department of Homeland Security. The Financial Services sector is on that list.
The Department of Homeland Security's position is that banks and credit unions provide essential services. That is consistent with the position that both Eglin AFB and Hurlburt Field held last Tuesday when they implemented "mission essential only" rules for accessing the bases.
Following their guidance, EFCU has a responsibility and an opportunity to serve our member's financial needs. Whether our employees are working at a branch location or from home, we are dedicated to keeping the financial wheels turning during this challenging time.
