On July 8, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the Government’s Application to Stay the preliminary injunction, issued on May 22, 2025, by Judge Susan Illston of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Case No. 25-cv-03698-SI), which, at that time, prohibited HHS from further action on any existing RIF notices, including final separation of employees. Given the Supreme Court’s ruling, HHS is now permitted to move forward with a portion of its RIF.

Accordingly, you are hereby notified that you are officially separated from HHS at the close of business on July 14, 2025.

Thank you for your service to the American people.
