HHS carries out mass firings across health agencies after Supreme Court decision [View all]

Thousands of employees across US federal health agencies received an email Monday afternoon telling them they were out of a job as of the close of business.

The firings were originally communicated April 1 for most of the included employees, but they’d been delayed as a legal battle played out. That culminated in a US Supreme Court decision July 8 that, the US Department of Health and Human Services said in the email, means the agency “is now permitted to move forward with a portion of its [reduction in force].”

“You are hereby notified that you are officially separated from HHS at the close of business on July 14, 2025,” read Monday’s notice to dismissed HHS employees, according to copies obtained by CNN. “Thank you for your service to the American people.”

“HHS previously announced our plans to transform this department to Make America Healthy Again and we intend to do just that,” HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said in an email to CNN after the Supreme Court’s ruling last week.
