The White House Counsel's Office and the Office of Personnel Management are coordinating with federal agencies to ensure their plans comply with the law, one of the officials said. That includes meeting requirements set by Congress, such as rules for how layoffs must occur and the minimum number of staff an agency must retain.

Federal agency leaders still face obstacles to implementing widespread layoffs, and some are even reversing course after the Supreme Court greenlit President Donald Trump‘s order to cut the public workforce.

Federal employees are anxious about losing their jobs after the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could move forward with firing them, Politico reported Thursday. The Supreme Court earlier this week lifted a lower court order that temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s plan to fire thousands of federal workers.

Plus, Medicaid and Affordable Care Act cuts in Donald Trump's domestic policy bill have rural hospitals considering what services they might have to cut.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to bring back the workers, but they remain effectively on leave.

"I think the biggest hurdle that I think a lot of federal employees face is just not knowing this is a benefit you’re entitled to," said Michael Macomber.

The department will begin issuing layoff notices to employees via email “in the coming days,” according to a staff memo obtained by The Washington Post.
