| Based on the guidance from the Department of the Interior, furloughed workers cannot use these types of deals if they're not offered to all government workers regardless of current status. If it's only for furloughed workers it might not be considered being available to the public at large. And in looking at the press release it say you have to show your ID but doesn't specify requiring proof of being furloughed. -- A local restaurant is offering free sandwiches to furloughed workers. Can I accept a sandwich? -- Yes, if the sandwich is being offered to all Federal government employees or to anyone who is impacted by the partial government shutdown, and the offer is not limited only to certain Federal employees, such as those employed by DOI, or only to furloughed employees. Alternatively, if the sandwich is valued at $20 or less (retail market value), then you may accept the sandwich so long as the total value of gifts given to you from the restaurant in question does not exceed $50 in a calendar year, and you do not accept gifts so frequently from the restaurant that a reasonable person would question your impartiality. Please remember that you may never accept cash, cash gift cards issued by a credit card company or other financial institution (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.) or checks made out to you, in any amount, given because of your official position (in this case because you are a furloughed employee) under any circumstances. |
