Fuloughed Government Employees: $500 Interest-free Cash Advance from Paypal; YMMV

If you’re a government employee affected by the shutdown, Paypal may lend you $500 interest free loan upon employment verification.You’ll need both a Paypal account and a Paypal Credit account.
I’m unsure if affected government contractors are eligible.
