COVID-19 Response

Economic Impact Payments (Stimulus)

The IRS and the Treasury Department have started delivering a second round of Economic Impact Payments (Stimulus) as part of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 to millions of Americans. Payments are automatic, so you do not need to contact Cedar Point or the IRS about payment timing. Most payments are deposited directly into your account, not sent as a paper check through the mail. Please log into digital banking to see if you've received your stimulus payment yet.

COVID-19 Update

Cedar Point continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation and its effects on our community. Cedar Point lobbies are currently open for business. As always, the situation is subject to change. Please be on the lookout for any changes and updates sent via email or posted on social media and here on our website.

Governor Hogan recently reinforced the state's commitment to safety measures during this global pandemic. As always, Cedar Point is committed to doing our part to mitigate the spread of the virus. For the protection of members and credit union staff, the following safety measures are in place in our branches:

• Strict social distancing guidelines must be followed. Everyone must stand at least 6 feet apart. Floor indicators have been placed for your convenience. To meet these guidelines, only a certain number of people will be allowed into the lobby at a time.
• For security and identification purposes, we ask those entering the branch to briefly remove their masks. Once identification has been verified, masks must be worn inside the branch. This is one of the most important things employees and members can do to help mitigate the spread.
• Members are encouraged to use our hand sanitizer stations when entering or exiting the branch.
• High-touch surfaces are sanitized between uses by credit union staff, and the teller windows are equipped with plexiglass barriers.

Please note that we continue to encourage our members to use digital banking and the mobile app as much as possible during this time. Most transactions and other business can be conducted using the drive-thru* at any of our five branches, and we encourage members to use this method as much as possible to conduct in-person business. In addition, our Call Center is fully staffed during normal business hours to assist our members who prefer to speak with a representative from a distance.

All Cedar Point ATMs accessible to the community remain available for cash withdrawals. All 33,000 Allpoint ATMs nationwide continue to be surcharge-free for our members. 

On behalf of our staff and board of directors, we thank you for your continued support and understanding during these times. Cedar Point will continue to send updates as circumstances require. We look forward to the day when this is all behind us. Be safe and stay healthy.

*Please remember that we cannot accept rolled coin through the drive-thru service tubes.

Avoiding Fraud

Please be aware that there have been recorded cases of fraud related to COVID-19 and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the “CARES Act,” which was signed into law on March 27th, 2020. The CARES Act provides direct economic assistance for Americans through stimulus payments. If you receive communication claiming to be from the U.S. Treasury Department offering grants or stimulus payments in exchange for personal financial information, fees, or gift cards, do not respond. These are scams. To avoid scams and hackers, best practice is not to click on any links in emails you were not expecting or did not request. Here are some best practice recommendations to avoid fraud.

• Disregard online offers for vaccinations. There currently are no vaccines, pills, lotions, lozenges, or other prescription or over-the-counter products available to treat or cure Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) — either online or in-stores.
• Think before you click. Don't click on hyperlinks from sources you don't recognize. They could download viruses onto your computer or device.
• Watch for suspicious emails claiming to be from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or experts saying that have information about the virus. For the most up-to-date information about the Coronavirus, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) websites.
• Do your research before donating to charities or crowdfunding sites. Don’t let anyone pressure or rush you into making a donation. If someone wants donations in cash, by gift card, or by wiring money, don’t do it.
• Set up account alerts through mobile or online banking.
• Be sure to use secure, unique passwords for online accounts.
