Reducing the Federal Workforce Through Attrition Act

This bill requires federal agencies to reduce their workforce to 90% of the 2025 level by fiscal year 2028, directly affecting all federal agencies and their employees (excluding political appointees). It mandates that agencies hire no more than one new employee for every three retirees or separations during 2026-2027, with strict monitoring to ensure compliance. Agencies exceeding their capped workforce must halt all new hiring, remote work approvals, and certain position changes until they meet the limit. The bill includes limited emergency waivers for national security or public safety crises but prohibits increasing service contracts or remote work arrangements as part of the reduction strategy.
