On May 31, 2025, the Bloomberg Law reported that the CFPB wants employees based in its Washington headquarters to collect their personal belongings, indicating the agency’s confidence that the federal appeals court will approve the reduction of its workforce. The report said that CFPB employees who used to work out of the agency’s headquarters in Washington began receiving an email from the agency’s facilities unit May 22 with those instructions.
Bloomberg obtained a copy of an email directing employees to a digital sign-up sheet which gave employees the option to collect their belongings on June 3, 4, 5, or 11 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. A maximum of 100 CFPB employees are allowed to collect their belongings on any of the four days, according to the sign-up sheet.
A three-judge D.C. Circuit panel heard oral arguments in the case on May 16. The case is still pending as of this writing.
