OMB Memorandum Rescinded

OMB Memorandum Rescinded

0 543

RCPA, in working with ANCOR and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, has learned that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has rescinded the memorandum sent yesterday by the Trump Administration, which announced the pausing of distribution of federal funding.

Per National Council:
Moments ago, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reversed course on a memorandum instructing all agencies to temporarily pause the obligation and distribution funds for a wide swathe of federal programs, officially rescinding the order that spurred widespread confusion yesterday. The White House’s decision to rescind the memo comes after U.S. District Court Judge Loren AliKhan issued a brief temporary stay that would have delayed OMB’s directive from taking effect until Monday, Feb. 3, with the potential for further legal action beyond that date.

In addition, ANCOR reached out to members and said the following:

Hi everyone,
