A class-action complaint has been filed against the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for allegedly terminating 10,000 employees based on inaccurate personnel records. The records were described as 'hopelessly error-ridden' by the lawsuit, which claims that various federal agencies including DOGE and OPM proceeded to fire employees without verifying the accuracy of the data. This led to violations of the Privacy Act, as the impacted employees came from diverse positions within the department, raising concerns about the treatment of civil servants.
The HHS relied on 'hopelessly error-ridden' personnel records to terminate 10,000 employees, raising serious concerns over the accuracy and fairness of such actions.
The lawsuit claims that privacy laws were violated as agencies failed to verify the accuracy of records used for the mass terminations on April 1.
