Washington (Reuters). President Donald Trump’s administration on Monday began to describe its plans in detail on Monday, for which the service will pause if the Federal Government closes this week and the US Department of Health is planning 41% of its workforce.
The impending closure will be different from the previous closure of the Government, as the administration threatened with mass shootings of federal employees, adding that it could use funding to reduce the federal government.
At the Personnel Management Bureau, Monday’s Memorandum announced that teaching and building new federal employees is not allowed by law dictating closing parameters, staff supervising any shooting must continue their work. According to OPM, unlike previous shutdings, federal employees will also be allowed to use computers issued by their Government to check reports of exemptions for their e -mail. In the letter.
“This outraged plan threatens to cause long -term damage to the country and the safety of the American people by massively shooting non -partisan, experts civil servants and possibly even abolishing government agencies,” said Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan, the Supreme Senate Committee Democrats overseen by the administration.
The US Department of Health and Human Services said it did not lead to new patients to their clinical trial studies and would limit their health relationships to society if the government turns off. The US Department of Labor said it would suspend economic data permits, including a closely monitored monthly September employment report.
Republicans who control both Congress Palace and minority Democrats have not reached an agreement to a draft law on Stopgap to avoid Wednesday closure. Congress leaders are going to meet Trump on Monday.
The White House did not immediately respond to the request to comment.
Allowed to shoot, workouts are banned
The closing operations are dictated by the 19th century law prohibiting the federal government’s operations in the Government areas where the Federal Funding of Congress has not been approved. There are some exceptions as it is for national security purposes and protect life and property.
Important government benefits paid for mandatory costs, such as social security benefits for older citizens and access to health care through Medicare and Medicaid, are not affected. Federal student loans and PLL grants are also continued for students who need financial needs.
In previous years, plans, as federal agencies will respond to closing, have been accessible to the public and Congress weeks before the government’s funding, but many of these years have issued their plans in the last 24 hours.
The Department of Labor said in its plan that the Bureau of Labor Statistics would “stop all operations” and that the economic data provided for during funding would not be published.
Some other publicly available plans are similar to previous plans for other administrations, but the staff data included the impact of Trump’s administration’s dismissals, shootings and early pension proposals. According to plans, the Health and Human Services Department has about 12,000 fewer employees working full -time compared to last year, and about 1,700 fewer employees in the Education Department than 2024.
The veteran affairs department said the benefits and medical care would continue when closing, but the Cemeteries maintenance would stop.
The Internal Income Service will continue all activities and staff for further funding, signed by the former Law on Reduction of President Joe Biden’s inflation, the advantage of the short administration, despite the Republican lawmakers criticizing the increased funding for tax execution and services.
According to a statement published on Monday afternoon, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which is responsible for calculating US GDP statistics, will suspend economic data permits.
