<br>
I am writing to keep you informed about the lab’s operational status. With the support of the Department of Energy, Jefferson Lab expects to extend full operations through mid-November. The specific date will be communicated once it is determined. We continue
to evaluate funding options to extend operations for as long as possible for as many people as possible.<br>
<br>
Tomorrow (Wednesday, Oct. 22) will be designated as a paid holiday. Normal operations will resume Thursday, Oct. 23, and staff should report to work as scheduled.<br>
<br>
A more comprehensive set of FAQs will be shared as soon as possible. For now, here is some important information we can share:</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li style=""><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">Medical Benefits: Premiums are fully covered through Nov. 30, 2025. For December, Anthem and Optima provide a 31-day grace period to maintain coverage
if full premiums cannot be collected. We are currently exploring options to meet financial obligations to extend coverage through January.</span></span></li><li style=""><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">Voluntary Vacation Use: To help delay a labwide furlough for as long as possible, we are requesting that those with 200 or more hours of vacation consider
using vacation by Nov. 7.</span></span></li><li style=""><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">Furlough Vacation Use: We are still exploring the legal requirements and if the use of vacation hours during a furlough is allowable.</span></span></li><li style=""><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">Media Engagement: If approached by the media, do not engage and refer to them to communications at
<a href="mailto:jlabinfo@jlab.org" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" style="color:#26ABE2; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:underline">
jlabinfo@jlab.org</a>.</span></span></li><li style=""><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">Holiday Work: If the lab is closed for a holiday, staff and users are not to work unless otherwise approved by their division leader. This means they
are not to come on-site or work from home. </span></span></li></ul>
<p style="margin:10px 0; padding:0; color:#202020; font-family:Helvetica; font-size:14px; line-height:150%; text-align:left">
<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">Additionally, we continue to maintain our cost-saving measures (including limiting travel, procurements, hiring, etc.) to preserve resources and sustain operations.<br>
<br>
We sincerely thank you, our staff, as well as the DOE for its vital partnership and support during this time. We understand the stress this uncertainty may cause and continue to prioritize safety, your well-being and mission delivery. Thank you for your patience
as we navigate this time together.<br>
