COVID-19 Claims and Requests for Equitable Adjustment Q&A Webinar — “Tick Tock – Submitting COVID-19 Related Claims and REAs as the Government Fiscal Year Draws to a Close”

Webinar | 09.17.20, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 AM EDT

For nearly 6 months, the Coronavirus pandemic has caused disruptions across nearly all industrial sectors, including the government contracting industry.  As contractors have attempted to respond to challenges in providing support to government customers, meeting contract and staffing requirements, and adhering to contract terms and a constantly shifting landscape, Congress provided an additional avenue of relief to certain contractors dealing with COVID-19 related impacts.  Section 3610 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) provided assistance in connection with certain disruptions in contractor performance arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.  Now, as the Government fiscal year draws to a close, many contractors are considering whether and when to submit potential Claims and REAs – including Claims and REAs triggered in part by COVID-19 related issues – and how best to position themselves to recover schedule and cost impacts triggered by COVID and non-COVID related causes.


In this webinar, Crowell & Moring attorneys with experience pursuing and resolving Claims and REAs will discuss key questions facing contractors right now:

  • Common issues encountered by contractors who have experienced impacts from COVID and non-COVD related causes;
  • How best to position Claims and REAs for successful resolution;
  • Whether and how the end of the Government fiscal year might impact the Government’s approach to resolving Claims/REAs;
  • Steps to take right now.

Please join us as we discuss these issues, and many more, as well as live questions from the webinar audience. 


This program is intended for government contractors only. Please no private law firms or government employees.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
