The Trump administration disclosed to a federal court the offices targeted for significant layoffs earlier this year, revealing a detailed plan for reductions in force. While some layoffs at agencies like Health and Human Services (HHS) and the General Services Administration have already been announced, many details were new and previously unreported. Agencies are requesting approval from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for expedited layoffs, and while some plans may no longer be active, ongoing reductions are evident. The administration's disclosure followed a legal ruling mandating submission of this information.
The filing contains requests for approval sent to the Office of Personnel Management in March and April, signaling the scale of proposed reductions in force.
Agencies made the requests to OPM to allow for hastened layoffs after adjusting their 'competitive areas,' the groupings of employees agencies must create before engaging in RIFs.
