Bill overview
This bill, the Securing Assurance for Federal Employees Act (SAFE Act), prevents federal agencies from implementing layoffs or other workforce reductions during government shutdowns. It specifically prohibits agencies from initiating, executing, or taking action related to such reductions when funding is temporarily unavailable. Any reduction in force already initiated before the bill’s enactment date will be deemed invalid. The bill also includes a provision to ensure that voluntary separation payments remain unaffected.
