  • The Commission is requested to submit a contingency plan by mid-June 2020 to protect program beneficiaries.
  • The contingency plan should include measures to extend or remove expiration dates in current legislative acts.
  • Funding levels should be technically prolonged based on previous years' amounts to ensure continuity.
