Subject: Department/Agency shutdown guidance information

Below, please find information compiled by UC FGR that offers shutdown guidance:

With the partial federal government shutdown still underway, we wanted to share guidance from various affected departments and agencies on how they plan to proceed until Congress and the White House negotiate a plan to re-open the government.

As a reminder, the following spending bills expired on Dec. 21: Agriculture; Commerce, Justice, Science; Financial Services and General Government; Homeland Security; Interior, Environment; State, Foreign Operations; and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development.
