The fed has an award system that is designed to encourage and reward employees who perform exemplary service. Some agencies award them like a Christmas ham and others, like natural pearls. Mostly depends on whether you're in a 'rich' agency or not.

All that matters is that he genuinely feels he deserves 10k.

And the plaque.

That sucks. That's why I tend to support anybody whose avowed goal is to reduce the federal government, even though they seldon seem to do it. Witness our current administration.

Is it too late to request to be the one to award him the money?

If you are able to, I would suggest you make it rolls of dollar coins, and shove them where the sun doesn't shine.
