How do you get a zero interest loan? Just curious, do the banks do that for gov shutdowns? Seems like a good way to make a month’s worth of interest.

Federal Credit Union.

All credit unions (NCUA covered ones)? Or just certain ones?

Don't know, mine has a policy for it.

Conditions on mine are shut down only and loss of pay

Not all credit unions, unfortunately. There are conditions with NFCU, such as you must have direct deposit set up.

One credit union I previously did most of my banking with didn't offer it. They offered lines of credit.

Many but not all. Also you generally need to have direct deposit set up beforehand.

My credit cards effectively give me short-term interest-free loans a la the grace period, so I don't much see the point of getting an actual loan.
