The Fed has control of this number. The IOER is now 1.80%. It was 2.10% until yesterday (Sept 18), when it was lowered. See the current IOER here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/IOER
This should have made the 1 month Treasury bill 1.8%. Instead it is at 2.01%. Notice that this went UP today, so the problem is getting worse.
Also, the SOFR rate jumped to 5.25% as of 9/17. This number should have been 2.10%. See the current SOFR rate here: http://www.sofrrate.com/
The EFF minus IOER spread should be less than 0.05. Instead it was at 0.45 yesterday (9/18/19). The EFF was at 2.25% and the IOER was at 1.8%. See the current EFF rate here: https://apps.newyorkfed.org/markets/autorates/fed%20funds
