                                         operation are 8am to 5:30pm, M-F.
                                         Travel Assistance is available outside of published office hours; however, this option should be
                                         limited to travel emergencies.

                                         When their clients begin to travel again, they will return to their previous operating hours to
                                         best serve you.
