Forest Service Employees Assistance Fund

The Pacific Northwest Forest Service Association is accepting requests from current employees of the Pacific Northwest Region and the Pacific Northwest Research Station (stationed in Oregon, Washington and Alaska) who, due to the ongoing Government shutdown, are in need assistance for expenses incurred while not receiving a paycheck.  We are focusing our assistance to employees who are not exempt and essential and thus not collecting pay from the Forest Service. 

Although there is no requirement to payback funds, the PNWFSA does ask that if employees are reimbursed in the future, that they consider making a donation back to this fund to help employees that may be impacted by similar hardship(s) in the future.

To submit a request, please provide the following information:

• Name
  
• Mailing Address
  
• Email Address
  
• Telephone Number
  
• Name of Forest Service Organization (e.g., Forest and District Name, Research Program or Station Administrative Staff Unit Name)
  
• Name of Supervisor
  
• Date of Layoff
  
• Description of unmet needs/expenses incurred during layoff, up to 5 expenses
  
• Total Requested Amount
  

Thanks to those who have given so generously to the FS Employee Assistance Fund.  Please consider making a donation.
