The White House’s pause on federal grants and loans appears to be over.
A memo sent by Matthew J. Vaeth at the Office of Management and Budget on Wednesday, January 29, and addressed to the heads of executive departments and agencies, says that the memorandum is no longer in effect.
“OMB Memorandum M-25-13 is rescinded. If you have questions about implementing the President’s Executive Orders, please contact your agency General Counsel,” the memo, seen by Business Insider, reads.
M-25-13 was the memo that the OMB, which oversees federal agencies and the federal budget, sent out Monday, pausing nearly all federal grants and loans. It was meant to go into effect at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, but a federal judge temporarily stopped it. The order sparked confusion, as organizations and nonprofits scrambled to figure out the state of their funding.
The Trump administration, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Office of Personnel Management did not respond to a request for comment from BI.
