“The federal government is using its own employees as political fodder, turning working families into pawns in Washington’s partisan games,” Governor Matt Meyer said. “Here in Delaware, we’re stepping up to protect our residents. We won’t stand by while dysfunction in D.C. makes life more expensive, more stressful, and more difficult for hardworking Americans. This resource page is one way we’re ensuring Delawareans get the help they need and deserve.”
