A potential government shutdown looms here in the U.S. if lawmakers fail to pass legislation averting a shutdown before midnight on September 30, 2025. If a shutdown occurs on October 1, 2025, most federal agencies will be affected by a lapse in annual appropriations. In preparation for a potential shutdown, the Office of Management and Budget instructed federal agencies last week to submit reduction in force plans as the Trump administration intends to permanently reduce the federal workforce if lawmakers cannot avert a shutdown before midnight on September 30th. We are standing by to assist as needed in the event of a shutdown.
