Urgent Action Needed

The Office of Management and Budget issued a memo late last night instructing all federal agencies, to the extent permissible under applicable law, to “temporarily pause all activities related obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance, and other relevant agency activities that may be implicated by the executive orders, including, but not limited to financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal.”

While it is unclear whether Medicaid falls within this broad scope (since Medicaid funding is provided to states and not directly to individuals), the memo allows significant discretion to for OMB in how it is implemented.

Reach out to your member of Congress to ask them to provide immediate clarity on this memo.
