Plain-English Summary
This bill would require the federal government to calculate and report the financial costs of mass layoffs or firings of federal employees, including expenses like severance pay, benefits continuation, and retraining programs. The measure aims to make Congress and the public aware of how much taxpayer money is spent when the government reduces its workforce through large-scale terminations. Federal agencies and oversight committees would need to document these fiscal impacts before or after such personnel actions occur.
