What the document says

“Any employee who received notice of being subject to such a reduction in force shall have that notice rescinded and be returned to employment status as of September 30, 2025, without interruption. Such employees shall receive all pay to which they otherwise would have been entitled in the absence of receiving such notice, including backpay in accordance with section 116 of this Act.”

Making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

This is the remedy that follows from voiding the reductions in force: the notice is withdrawn, the employment record shows no break, and the pay that would have been earned is paid, drawing on the pay money made available by section 116 of division A.

What the document actually says

“Any employee who received notice of being subject to such a reduction in force shall have that notice rescinded and be returned to employment status as of September 30, 2025, without interruption. Such employees shall receive all pay to which they otherwise would have been entitled in the absence of receiving such notice, including backpay in accordance with section 116 of this Act.”

That sentence, in plain words

The notice is taken back. The worker goes back to the job with no break in the record. The missed pay is paid.

What this is about

Losing a job also breaks pay and benefits. This puts both back. It treats the worker as if the notice was never sent.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
