As COE shared last night, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has ordered a pause to the disbursement and obligation of federal funds, to go into effect at TODAY at 5:00 p.m. ET. This means that the G6 system for drawdowns will not be available after 5:00 p.m. ET tonight. Given the immediacy of this action, COE advises TRIO grantees to take these actions.
