Torrential Rain Threatens Further Flooding...TEWKESBURY, UNITED KINGDOM - JULY 21:  A flood sign warns of flooded areas following the torrential rain in the last 24 hours, July 21, 2007, in Tewkesbury, England. Flash flooding has caused severe disruption across the UK with more bad weather forcasted.  (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)

If the local or state authorities have declared your home to be in an mandatory evacuation area and/or your home may have been flooded, you and your family may be eligible for your lodging and subsistence benefits in addition to administrative leave.

 We are working with Deputy Commissioner Nancy Berryhill to identify affected employees.

 If you feel you may be eligible for these benefits, please contact us as soon as possible.  If you have a co-worker, who is unable to work due to the severe weather conditions, please share this information with him/her.

We have flooding in Southern Illinois and Missouri and 25 deaths  caused by flooding in Missouri and Illinois.    We  are aware that our employees who have lost their homes due to floods are given lodging and per diem according to OPM Regulations.  We have been advised that SSA is referring our employees who have lost homes  to Red Cross Shelters rather than following the OPM Regulations.
