   So, the turmoil this week with the Feds shutting off the grant system continues. My agency is 99% funded through emergency management grants, we draw our payroll costs a month after processing in order to reconcile.

   The shutoff made it so that we could not process any draws this week, so that means no disaster grant reimbursements or our payroll costs being reimbursed per our programmatic agreements with #FEMA

   We have about 6 weeks until my agency defaults and has to begin furloughs and layoffs.

     We also received an email from a lead state agency from OPM, messages were sent out to all state agencies that manage federal grants. They are requiring a response by February 7th to ensure that none of the grants that we manage are funding "illegal aliens" or "illegal #DEI" initiatives...

     Andre F Machado repeated this.

     The current administration's stated goal of making civil servants suffer is happening across the board. They want civil servants to quit so that the services can further erode along with the confidence of the American public. I think this is so that they can justify their cuts and layoffs, and then the argument they will make is that we need to privatize these services so their billionaire buddies can eat up the contracts.
