WASHINGTON ― Some recipients of federal grants are still complaining about missing money despite a court restraining order blocking President Donald Trump’s administration from freezing federal funds.

Head Start providers in multiple states said that they were getting error messages when they tried to access accounts they use to request funding drawdowns, PBS reported Tuesday.

“We’re aware of at least 40 programs that have requested funds to draw them down and have not received those funds as of yet,” Tommy Sheridan, a deputy director at the National Head Start Association, told HuffPost.

Head Start is a Department of Health and Human Services initiative known for its focus on early childhood education, among other social services.

It’s not clear if the federal funding holdup is intentional. The Department of Justice has told federal agencies that they have to comply with the court’s order not to pause funds.

“Federal agencies cannot pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate any awards or obligations on the basis of the OMB Memo, or on the basis of the President’s recently issued Executive Orders,” reads a notice about the court order, referring to the White House’s Office of Management and Budget.

In a court filing Monday, the Justice Department said it issued the notice to federal agencies Friday evening.

The document is significant because it shows the federal government cooperating with the court order after the Trump administration sent mixed signals about the funding freeze and seemed to relish confrontation with other parts of the federal government.

OMB’s original memo instructed all agencies to “temporarily pause” grants and loans, with exceptions for Social Security, Medicare and assistance provided “directly to individuals.”

The memo created confusion among organizations that receive grants to provide in-kind support to the needy, such as home-delivered meals for older adults and heating assistance for the poor. The White House later said those two programs wouldn’t be affected.

Then OMB rescinded the memo ― but White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said the intent of the memo remained and that the funding freeze was still on, despite the court order last week telling the government to delay the freeze.

“The President’s EO’s on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented,” Leavitt said in a statement, referring to the executive orders.

On Friday, a second federal judge issued a restraining order blocking the freeze, citing Leavitt’s statement.
