The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) completed its review May 15 of the final rule from USDA for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP). The rule arrived at OMB May 5.
The expectation is that it will be released Tuesday as USDA has set training for Farm Service Agency workers in three installments May 21-22. Key details will be the application process, payments and updated levels on payment limits.
Meanwhile, USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue, Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia and NIH Director Francis Collins are among five new members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Vice President Mike Pence’s office said in statement.
Peter Marks, FDA director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, and Thomas Engels, administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration, were also named to the panel.
The task force is entering a new phase focused on “getting Americans back to work and allowing businesses to re-open,” the statement said.
