Looking for Relief from Holiday Expenses?
Skip-a-Payment
The month of January can feel daunting after the holiday season. Are you feeling overwhelmed by recent expenses? Look no further, Interra is here to help with the Skip-A-Payment program. The program allows eligible members to skip a loan payment up to two times in a 12-month period.
• Skipping a payment won’t hurt your credit report.
• Qualified consumer loans are eligible.
• $25 processing fee per loan, per request.
Qualified, secured consumer loans¹ are eligible for the program. Loans not eligible include loans secured by real estate, single payment loans, lines of credit and credit cards. If you want to
skip a payment, please review all the information, including terms and conditions, and complete a Skip-a-Payment form online for each loan you’d like to skip. It’s easy to sign up.
• Complete information online at https://www.interracu.com/personal/loans/skip-a-payment.

To: Holders of Traditional IRA accounts
Withholding Notice (form 2317)
Payments from your IRA are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect no withholding. You may change your withholding election at any time prior to receipt of a payment. To change your withholding election, complete the appropriate form provided by your credit union.
Withholding from IRA payments, when combined with other withholding, MAY relieve you from payment of estimated income taxes. However, your withholding election does not affect the amount of income tax you pay.
You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are insufficient.
We recommend you seek the advice from a qualified tax advisor.
