<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D">The U.S. Department of Education will be performing maintenance on their Grants Management System from 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) Wednesday February 17, 2016
until 6 a.m. EST Monday February 22, 2016. During this period, agencies will not be able to drawdown funds.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D">If an agency doesn’t have payroll completed before the shutdown period to drawdown funds, they will have to wait until the system comes back up on Monday, February
22, 2016. Funding would then be available to submit payroll on Tuesday February 23, 2016. This would be inside the five (5) business day rule for payrolls paying on February 29, 2016.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D">OMES will allow an exception to the five (5) business day rule for this event. Payroll processed for payment on February 29, 2016 should be submitted no later than
Tuesday February 23, 2016 to be considered timely. When submitting the Validate PFT Funding Report, please include the following statement:
<u>G5 Grants System Delay</u><o:p></o:p></span></p>

being sent out. Please see the attached documentation for further information and guidance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
