The Memorandum from the Director, M/OAA, dated May 8, 2020 (Revised) authorized a number of administrative flexibilities for USAID assistance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, pursuant to OMB Memorandum M-20-17, “Administrative Relief for Recipients and Applicants of Federal Financial Assistance Directly Impacted by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) due to Loss of Operations.” At the time of issuance, OMB stated that it would reassess those flexibilities around June 17, 2020. OMB has now completed that reassessment and issued OMB memorandum M-20-26, “Extension of Administrative Relief for Recipients and Applicants of Federal Financial Assistance Directly Impacted by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) due to Loss of Operations.” All flexibilities provided in this memorandum are time limited and will expire on September 30, 2020.
