So the background on this is that the grace period is a discretionary matter decided by USCIS and not a part of the legislation itself. A couple of months ago when the layoffs got past a critical threshold, people started asking for an extension in the grace period. At the time, USCIS' response was that changing the rule itself will take more than 60 days, so it's moot. Which is a bit silly since layoffs continue to happen. This recommendation to extend it though is just a recommendation, and there is no official word from USCIS on whether they are considering any change.
