Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

They’d been unavailable for a full week, leaving DoD’s entire civilian workforce without access to services like substance abuse and mental health counseling. The reasons for the outage are far from clear, though. Federal News Network’s Jared Serbu has been covering the EAP problems, and he joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin for more details.
