JBLE services, CFC adjust after government reopens

By 633rd Air Base Wing Public Affairs

With the federal government reopening, many services at Joint Base Langley-Eustis are returning to normal.

Both the Bateman and Groeninger libraries are open and operating under normal business hours.

The Fort Eustis Teen Center, Recreation Center, Aquatic Center and Outdoor Recreation offices are all operating normally.

In addition, the Fort Eustis Education Center is open and has resumed normal operations and the Langley Education Center is conducting testing on an altered schedule and will return to full operations once contracted staff members return.

Combined Federal Campaign activities in the Continental United States may now resume, according to a memo from the director of the Department of Defense's CFC program. As a result of the government shutdown, the DOD had indefinitely suspended the CFC.

According to a memorandum released Oct. 9, CFC campaign activities were not excepted from furlough, nor were they appropriate activities under the Pay Our Military Act.  The suspension was to remain in place until there was a continuing resolution or a congressionally-approved appropriation.

The deadline to donate to the CFC is still November 1, and donations will continue to be accepted through the MyPay website. If a donation was given through pay allotments, it can be expected to be taken out on the January end-of-month pay period.
