 Good evening,
On January 20, 2025, the President issued a Presidential Memorandum (PM) titled, “Hiring Freeze” to be applied all executive branch agencies. Also on January 20, 2025, the Office of Management and Budget and U.S. Office of Personnel Management issued a joint guidance memorandum titled, “Federal Civilian Hiring Freeze Guidance.” On July 7, 2025, an updated PM titled, “Ensuring Accountability and Prioritizing Public Safety in Federal Hiring” was issued extending the Hiring Freeze until October 15, 2025.
Today OPM is providing Answers to Frequently Asked Hiring Freeze Questions to assist agencies in implementing the hiring freeze extension. Agencies must implement the PM and associated guidance in accordance with any collective bargaining obligations that may apply.
For additional information, agency headquarters-level human resources policy offices may contact OPM at tracking@opm.gov. Component-level human resources offices must contact their agency headquarters for assistance. Employees must contact their agency human resources offices for further information.
