Straight-time of a permanent employee funded from an external source (such as a grant from a Federal agency or statutorily dedicated funds) is eligible if the employee is reassigned to perform eligible Emergency Work that the external source does not fund.FEMA finds that the straight-time FAL of 20 permanent employees are eligible because the employees were funded from an external source and were reassigned to perform eligible emergency work at the vaccine clinics that the external source did not fund. However; straight-time FAL associated with three audit employees is ineligible as the Applicant has not demonstrated the employees were funded from non-statutorily dedicated funding sources. Therefore; this appeal is partially granted in the amount of $36;902.83.
