[Oasfaa] Question for schools going to online classes

[Burnett, Bradley T.]

I got this from another listerv.  They asked the question of Ask Regs.

Response from Ask Regs

It is our understanding that "other employees" specifically includes all non-FWS employees. This includes non-FWS student employees, as well as faculty and staff (not just faculty and staff). If you don't pay non-FWS student employees during the closure or interruption in classes, then you cannot pay FWS students under the guidance provided in the March 5, 2020 Electronic Announcement<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__ifap.ed.gov_electronic-2Dannouncements_030520Guidance4interruptionsrelated2CoronavirusCOVID19&d=DwMGaQ&c=qKdtBuuu6dQK9MsRUVJ2DPXW6oayO8fu4TfEHS8sGNk&r=xAbw3xi2HQk4420eLzajfA&m=nlIzLANgjL50m9WJGNAGTVYxyFB9zdxYQgWVxmKvtWs&s=wgvyetzkBGrTXIOrzmJB7_oj7azYU-nDhiDgwDahG4A&e=>.

OBU has not make the decision to go to online but it is being considered and planned for if we decide to do that at some point.

My question is, is your school planning to pay work study students and/or non-work study for time they "would have worked" "planned to work" whatever? You've prob read the info but here's a new article from NASFAA today and a link to the dear colleague referenced.
