A memo asked agencies to provide a justification for providing relocation benefits to employees who live more than 50 miles from worksites.

The White House will give agencies two weeks to plan for the return of federal workers to the office, implementing an order President Donald Trump signed on the first day of his term to end Covid-era work-from-home accommodations.

Agency heads have until Feb. 7 to deliver implementation plans, which should include details on revised telework and collective bargaining agreements.

The White House and OPM are asking for specifics in how agencies will comply with Trump's return-to-office order.

As director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought plans to implement the most critical parts of the new Trump agenda.

Project 2025 contributing author Russell Vought is slated to resume his prior role of Office of Management and Budget director.

Russ Vought faces questioning during his confirmation about him wanting to make some federal employees more accountable to the president than to the bureaucracy.

President Trump's pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget faced a tough grilling from Democratic lawmakers on the Senate Budget Committee on Wednesday.

Russell Vought has signaled he hopes to slash spending — and push the limits of presidential power to achieve Trump’s agenda.

More than half of federal employees were either teleworking regularly or fully remote” by May 2024, the report notes.

If confirmed, Mr. Vought will be at the center of President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to upend the federal bureaucracy.

Agencies scramble to understand the unexpected memo, sent late Monday.
