Victor Klingelhofer Elected to the Executive Committee of VET-Force

Cohen Mohr partner Victor Klingelhofer was elected on December 11, 2012 to the Executive Committee of the Veterans Entrepreneurship Task Force (VET-Force).  VET-Force is composed of over 200 organizations and affiliates representing thousands of veterans throughout the United States, a high percentage of which are small businesses.  Its mission is to monitor the implementation of programs, agencies, and organizations under the Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999; to present a strong unified veterans’ voice for virtually all of the major veterans groups and veteran entrepreneurs; and to advocate for opportunities for veterans, particularly disabled veterans, seeking assistance to succeed in small business and self-employment.

As a service-disabled veteran himself, Mr. Klingelhofer has been an advocate for numerous individual veterans and their businesses for many years.  He welcomes this new opportunity to further serve and protect the veterans’ community.

District court holds that agencies cannot terminate grants based on post-award changes to agency goals and priorities

The District Court for the District of Massachusetts recently held that 2 C.F.R. § 200.340(a)(4) does not authorize grant terminations based on changes to program goals or agency priorities that an agency identifies after issuing a grant. This decision is significant because the administration has relied on 2 C.F.R. § 200.340(a)(4) to terminate billions of dollars in grants based on post-award changes to program goals and priorities. Josh Schnell and Sam Van Kopp represented 13 members of Congress who filed an amicus brief in support of the plaintiffs in the case, who are twenty states, three governors, and the District of Columbia.
