HHS Finalizes Mass Layoffs After Supreme Court Ruling | JQJO

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has finalized the layoff of approximately 10,000 employees following a Supreme Court ruling. This follows the issuance of RIF notices in April, with another 10,000 employees accepting voluntary separation. HHS is the third federal agency to proceed with significant workforce reductions, after the State and Education Departments. Legal challenges remain, including a class-action lawsuit alleging flawed data used in the termination process. The layoffs affect various HHS agencies, though some employees have been reinstated following legal injunctions.
