the Governor’s directive</a> in response to the budget impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, over 40,000 state employees will be furloughed one day per week between June 29 and July 25, and then one day per month between August 1 and November 30, 2020.

Because DSHS has designated Mondays as the temporary furlough days beginning June 29 through July 25, all online applications, eligibility renewals, change reports and mid-cert reviews submitted through Washington Connection on these furloughed Mondays won’t
be processed until the next day. <o:p></o:p></p>
