Summary: It's still uncertain why hundreds of thousands of Defense Department civilian employees suddenly lost access to the government’s Employee Assistance Program a week and a half ago. But the picture is becoming at least a little clearer. The root of the problem appears to be a determination by the Department of Health and Human Services that it can’t adhere to DoD procurement regulations. And HHS’s Program Support Center has apparently decided that means it can no longer provide services to the Defense Department. Federal News Network’s Jason Miller and Jared Serbu have been following the ongoing turmoil between PSC and its customer agencies, and they joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to bring things up to speed.
