Saving NASA’s Workforce Act
Current understanding
The Saving NASA’s Workforce Act would bar NASA from initiating reductions in force (RIFs) or most involuntary separations of civil servants until full-year FY2026 appropriations for the agency are enacted. For workers, the bill would provide a temporary statutory shield against announced office closures and executive-order-driven workforce cuts; for NASA management, it would constrain restructuring authority pending appropriations. Status: introduced.
