As some federal agencies are moving forward with mass dismissals of employees after receiving the Supreme Court’s blessing to do so, the Trump administration is telling a lower court that some agencies are walking back their planned layoffs.

Incentivized departures and natural attrition have obviated the need for reductions in force in some cases, Office of Personnel Management Senior Advisor Noah Peters told a federal court in California on Monday. Peters submitted his written testimony to support the Trump administration’s argument that RIF plans are moving targets and should not be made public.

The departments of State, Education and Health and Human Services have all moved forward with mass layoffs since the Supreme Court last week lifted an injunction that had blocked them. State first submitted its RIF notices, while Education and HHS are following through on terminating employees who had previously received them.

At HHS, laid off employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration’s tobacco office and Head Start remain on the rolls due to an injunction in a separate case brought by a group of states. The rest of the 10,000 employees who faced layoffs received termination notices Monday evening.

“Given the Supreme Court’s ruling, HHS is now permitted to move forward with a portion of its RIF,” the department said in its email to impacted staff. “Thank you for your service to the American people.”
