WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With the federal government officially shut down as of this morning, PayAssure, a groundbreaking financial services initiative dedicated to safeguarding federal employees during funding crises, proudly announces the appointment of John A. Koskinen, former Deputy Director for Management at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and former IRS Commissioner, as a senior adviser for media and strategic outreach.
