Plain-English Summary

The federal government's top auditor would be required to study how layoffs and workforce cuts in federal agencies affect the quality of services that government provides to the public. The study would examine whether reducing the number of federal employees has made it harder for citizens to get help with things like Social Security, veterans benefits, or other government services. The findings would help Congress understand the real-world consequences of downsizing the federal workforce.
