\n

The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is telling federal agencies to draw up reduction-in-force (RIF) plans ahead of a possible government shutdown<\/a> on Oct. 1, according to an internal memo obtained by Fox News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The guidance says agencies must consider issuing RIF notices to employees working on programs that are not legally required to continue if funding lapses.<\/p>\n

“With respect to those Federal programs whose funding would lapse and which are otherwise unfunded, such programs are no longer statutorily required to be carried out,” the memo states.<\/p>\n

Under the guidance, RIF notices would be issued on top of furlough notices and should go to all employees tied to the affected programs.<\/p>\n

Agencies would later revise those plans once Congress approves<\/a> fiscal year 2026 appropriations, keeping only the staff needed for core statutory functions.<\/p>\n

The memo notes that while Congress has usually passed short-term funding bills on a bipartisan basis, they believe this year is different.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The same memo accuses Democrats of breaking that trend and pushing for “insane demands, including $1 trillion in new spending,” which it says could force a shutdown.<\/p>\n

Last week, the House passed H.R. 5371, described as a clean continuing resolution (CR) that would extend current funding through Nov. 21. The administration backs the bill, but the memo says Democrats are blocking it in the Senate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We remain hopeful that Democrats in Congress will not trigger a shutdown and the steps outlined above will not be necessary,” the memo says.<\/p>\n

“The President supports enactment of a clean CR to ensure no discretionary spending lapse after Sept. 30, 2025, and OMB hopes the Democrats will agree.”<\/p>\n

The White House<\/a> did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
