WASHINHUN – Most of the 80,000 federal workers have been sent responsible for the search for diseases, food examination, medical care and medical aid department under the auspices of the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services by e -mail to their offer to pay up to $ 25,000 as part of government discounts of President Donald Trump.
Workers cannot start choosing until Monday and enjoy until 5 pm on Friday to provide a response to the so -called voluntary term. Email was sent to employees throughout the department, which includes the centers of diseases control and prevention in Atlanta, the National Institutes of Health as well as the Food and Drug Administration, both in Maryland.
Collective email moved to a large number of HHS employees, and fell in their inbox days before the agency’s heads, who are scheduled to make plans to reduce their working rules. HHS is one of the most government government agencies in the government, with an annual budget of about $ 1.7 trillion, which is often spent on covering health care for millions of people registered in the medical.
The agency oversees the health insurance of almost half of the country through medical care for the older adults and Medicaid for the disabled and the American poor.
There was no immediate comment Sunday from HHS.
Robert F. Kennedy Junior, Trump’s Minister of Health, to plans in deep discounts for employees. Last year, he promised to remove 600 employees immediately at the National Health Institutes, the country’s biomedical research arm. He did not go to this extent, but in an interview last month after a short period of right last month, Kennedy said he wanted to remove some workers from public health agencies.
“I have a list in my head,” Kennedy said about the potential shootings of the agency. He said that some workers “made really bad decisions” regarding nutrition instructions.
The Trump administration, with the help of billionaire Elon Musk, is trying to pay federal workers in an attempt to reduce costs. In January, most federal employees received a deferred resignation offer with eight months of wages. Thousands of test staff have also been launched via federal agencies, including HHS.
The last step to reduce the number of federal health workers comes as the center of diseases control in the outbreak of deadly measles in West Texas and New Mexico, while lawmakers discuss deep cuts to medical aid in the federal budget.
HHS workers are directed at the email to access the local human resources office to be submitted for a volunteer semester.
