[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone give an example of a program that isn't required by law? My husband and I are having a hard time coming up with one.[/quote] I work on a lot of discretionary grant programs at my agency. Many are “authorized” by Statute, e.g. “the Secretary is authorized to provide financial assistance to eligible applicants…”. It isn’t clear to me that is the same thing as being “required” by statute. As an attorney, I’d generally argue it is not the same thing. An authorization gives permission and a requirement is a mandate (e.g. “the Secretary shall ….”). As an attorney who wants to keep my job I’ll seek to argue that that the authorization is a requirement. My job may be toast anyway, but this is the first thing I thought of in terms of work the agency does that may not be required by law. [/quote]
