The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) teamed up with DOGE to fire 10,000 employees while relying on “hopelessly error-ridden” personnel records, a class-action complaint filed yesterday alleged. The lawsuit said the HHS terminated thousands of workers on April 1, shortly after sharing the flawed personnel records with the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
“These agencies knew that the records were hopelessly error-ridden, and that the records should have been used, if at all, with great caution,” said the lawsuit filed in US District Court for the District of Columbia. “Instead of taking steps to verify the contents of the records and correct the systemic inaccuracies, the agencies promptly used them to fire 10,000 employees.”
The case was filed by a law firm founded by former Justice Department attorneys on behalf of seven named plaintiffs and all others who were laid off as part of the April 1 Reduction in Force (RIF). It alleges that the government violated the Privacy Act, which requires agencies to verify the accuracy of information used as the basis for adverse actions against employees.
