The SEVEN stories that impact your life

  1. New York Times: U.S. Halts Efforts to Collect Old Social Security Debts – “The statement came after a Washington Post article revealed that the Treasury had started intercepting the federal and state tax refunds of debtors’ children — even if the debts were decades old. The debts stem from overpayments by Social Security that the agency had been trying to recoup even if the original recipients had died.”

  2. GovExec: Lawmaker Looks to Reform Agencies Without Hurting Their Employees – “A Democratic lawmaker is pushing two pieces of legislation designed to improve agency management without hurting federal employees along the way – or at least not to the extent of alternative bills.”

  3. Federal Times: Government Says Cyber Sharing Won’t Violate Antitrust Laws – “Companies should not be concerned about violating antitrust laws when sharing cybersecurity information, according to a formal policy statement by the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department.”

  4. Federal Times: DHS Plans for Single Awards Under $6B Cyber Contract – “Competition under the Homeland Security Department’s $6 billion cyber contract will be especially fierce over the coming months, with fewer than expected awards for continuous monitoring products and services.”

  5. New York Times: Ohio: Federal Judge Favors Same-Sex Couples Wed Outside of State – “Ohio must recognize the marriages of same-sex couples wed legally outside the state, a federal district judge in Cincinnati ruled Monday. The judge, Timothy Black, stayed his decision to give the sides time to argue whether it should be delayed until the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit hears an appeal.”

  6. NextGov: Google Knew About Hearbleed and Didn’t Tell the Government: “The researchers also notified a handful of other companies about the bug before going public… But the White House said Friday that no one in the federal government knew about the problem until April. The administration made the statement to deny an earlier Bloomberg report that the National Security Agency had been exploiting Heartbleed for years.”

  7. Washington Post: Feds Critical of New Federal Giving Rules – “The Obama administration will issue new federal employee charitable giving regulations that it says “will mean that more of a Federal worker’s contribution to the CFC will go directly to the charities they want to help. Charitable leaders, however, fear the new rules will result in fewer donors and lower contributions to the Combined Federal Campaign.”
