White House Approves Title 32 Extension, But Only for 24 Days
Guardsmen serving on the front lines of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic will have 24 more days to accomplish their work.
President Donald Trump, by memo late Friday, extended the authorization for federal funds for Guardsmen through Title 32 Section 502f to June 24. That authorization had been set to expire at the end of this month, which would have led to many states pulling Guardsmen this week to allow for a 14-day quarantine and out-processing requirements.
Without the funding, many states were planning to scale back their use of the Guard. But Trump said the federal government would continue to provide 100% of the cost for approved missions.
