[lstac] Clarification on iMLS Shutdown Email

[Blauvelt, Terry]

My interpretation follows yours in that IMLS would only process a payment request if there is an imminent threat to life or property, which seems highly unlikely.

Thank you,

Terry

Hello all,

This is my first shutdown as LSTA Coordinator. I am not sure if I am reading the email from Teri correctly. It says that staff can come in process to process Grants to States payment requests on a limited basis and to continue to submit requests. However, it also says that activities may continue, but we would have to submit an email why funding is critical. Does that mean we will only get reimbursed if we can justify it is imminent threat to life or property? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! Sending everyone good vibes during this time!
