FAQ

Who qualifies for the Navy Federal loan settlement?
NFCU members who received a notice about a personal loan opened in their name between January 1, 2023 and January 31, 2025, disputed it as fraud, and had NFCU deny the claim. If you got a notice, you are in.
What do I get?
The loan is canceled, NFCU asks the credit bureaus to delete it, and every payment you made on it is refunded. Those three happen automatically. File a Claim Form and you get $250 on top.
Do I need proof?
No. The $250 requires exactly one signature, which is one more than the loan got from you.
What is the deadline?
November 29, 2026. Online claims must be submitted by that date. Mailed claims must be postmarked by that date.
What if I closed my Navy Federal account?
Your refund and $250 are mailed to your last address on file. Update your address on the official site if you have moved.
What happens if I do nothing?
You still get the loan canceled, the credit reporting deleted, and your payments refunded. You just miss the $250, and you give up the right to sue NFCU over the loan.
Can I opt out?
Yes, by mailing a signed Request for Exclusion postmarked by November 9, 2026. You give up all settlement benefits but keep the right to sue on your own.
