In a memo issued Thursday, President Donald Trump extended the federal civilian hiring freeze for an additional 89 days, now set to continue until July 15. Originally enacted on January 20, this freeze inhibits hiring for both existing vacancies and new roles across federal agencies. Exceptions remain for national security, immigration, and law enforcement roles. The IRS hiring remains indefinitely frozen, with significant staffing reductions planned elsewhere, such as at the Social Security Administration, which faces labor shortages and allegations of overreach in personnel decisions.
The continued extension of the federal hiring freeze demonstrates the administration's commitment to controlling federal spending and workforce size, impacting various agencies including the IRS.
The hiring freeze will now last until July 15, continuing to affect all executive departments, while exceptions apply to those involved in national security and law enforcement.
