March is National Credit Education Month

The Office of Employee Wellness and Wellbeing (OEWW) invites you to refresh your financial knowledge this March in celebration of National Credit Education Month! This is a time dedicated to educating individuals about credit management and the importance of maintaining good credit health. Established in 1989 by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), this month-long initiative offers valuable insights into budgeting, saving, debt management, credit scores, and credit reports. It also serves as a reminder to review your credit report, identify potential errors, and move decisively from economic anxiety toward financial confidence.

Spotlight Event: Financial Wellness Fair, March 13, 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Virginia Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) Office of Workforce Engagement is hosting Employee Financial Wellness Fairs in March! Educational resources, expert guidance, and strategies to improve your financial well-being will be provided. 

OEWW’s Curated Financial Wellness Resources
March’s spring cleaning isn’t just for your home but also a time to refresh your finances! As you declutter and deep clean your space, take a moment to tidy up your budget, review your expenses, and clear out any financial habits that no longer serve you. A little financial spring cleaning now can help set you up for a brighter, more secure future.

Take advantage of National Credit Education Month to review your finances, enhance your credit knowledge, and make informed decisions for a secure future. OEWW’s financial wellness resources page is regularly updated with new tools, live webinars, and on-demand recordings to help you make informed financial decisions.
