Financial Resources

Due to the recent economic downturn, many State of Nevada Employees are experiencing more financial problems than before.  The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) wants to encourage employees to ask questions, gather information and speak directly with your financial advisors, lenders and/or creditors before the situation becomes unmanageable, too stressful or out of your control.  Doing nothing only makes the situation worse!  In an effort to assist employees, EAP is providing the following websites, all of which provide excellent suggestions.
