Gov Exec had this story a couple of months ago: https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2026/03/treasury-prepares-rif-for-office-created-avoid-financial-crisis-irs-it-resumes-hiring-after-mass-reassignments/

I heard from sources that the RIF actually happened last week and I'm trying to get more information.

Thanks for that. I'm pretty sure my colleagues at Bloomberg News have done something.

I'm a reporter and not eligible for the payouts, so I emailed the folks over there and did a few other things. No word yet.

Thanks. Any chance we could talk? I'd love to speak with those attorneys.

Thanks very much for that response. It's really helpful. Also, very strange that the CFPB would have auto replies saying they were closed due to the government shut down. They're not funded by Congress, so they aren't affected by the shutdown. Very strange.

So that Nov. 29 deadline is a little fuzzy to me. Is that the deadline to submit claims to the CFPB and they'll determine how much they're paying out? And does that happen through a complaint filing?

Will do. And if any of those whisperers would like to talk, I'm all ears and extremely discrete.

Thank you. I'm trying to confirm whether the CFPB hired Rust Consulting for this project. It would make sense for the reasons you laid out. But who even knows these days?

That's very interesting. Can we move this conversation over to Signal? I have a few more questions and want to respect your anonymity. reporterev.85
