WASHINGTON – The White House is rescinding an order that would have frozen federal grants.
The order was temporarily paused by a federal judge on Tuesday.
In a memo, the Office of Management and Budget said the order was rescinded that paused all activities connected to the disbursement of federal financial assistance.
The freeze included payments for the federal pell grant, school meals for low-income students, the WIC nutrition program and a reintegration program for homeless veterans. The freeze would not have impacted Social Security, Medicare or direct payments to people.
