FEMA tells court it is offering jobs back to employees who were let go in January
FEMA says it has begun contacting term-limited disaster workers for new appointments after 159 COREs were left without renewals, according to court filings.
- In a notice filed in District Court on Friday, Attorney Craig Missakian stated that FEMA has "initiated contact to offer new appointments" to staff whose contracts expired in January.
- The American Federation sued the administration over the nonrenewals, alleging a wider plan to cut the workforce, though temporary leader Karen Evans denied any "blanket" elimination of CORE.
- Around 7,000 reservists face contract expirations on May 2, 2026, while officials announced this week that eligible workers previously extended for 90 days may be reappointed for up to one year.
- Earlier this week, the agency reinstated 14 employees placed on paid administrative leave for signing a dissent letter, while plaintiffs plan to depose DHS Deputy Chief, Staff Joseph Guy next week regarding the dismissals.
- Department of Homeland Security officials stated on Thursday that they are addressing outstanding personnel actions to ensure workforce stability and a strong, deployable surge force for upcoming national events.
