The Trump administration, guided by directives from the Office of Management and Budget, has mandated federal agencies to formulate plans for significant workforce reductions by March 13. This second phase of workforce cuts aims to eliminate roles that are not required by law, impacting potentially around 700,000 federal employees. As many agencies start issuing layoff notices, President Trump identified the Environmental Protection Agency as intending to reduce its workforce by 65%. These layoffs complement earlier actions targeting probationary employees brought on within the last couple of years.
The Trump administration has given federal agencies until March 13 to deliver their plans to dramatically slash their workforces through layoffs as the Trump administration moves to the second phase of its initiative to cut federal employees.
Some agencies are already moving forward with their reductions in force. OPM itself, the General Services Administration and the U.S. Agency for International Development have already sent out RIF notices to thousands of employees.
President Trump said during a cabinet meeting that the Environmental Protection Agency is planning to slash 65% of its workforce, or nearly 11,000 employees.
Agencies should focus on the maximum elimination of functions that are not statutorily mandated while driving the highest-quality, most efficient delivery of their statutorily-required functions.
