WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's new tool for reshaping the federal government is a relatively obscure agency, the Office of Personnel Management.

The State Department has already begun to implement the president’s memo cancelling telework agreements as of March 1 and remote work arrangements July 1, with exceptions for military spouses and employees with disabilities.

Agencies should aim for a 30-day deadline to implement Trump’s return-to-office executive order, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

A new memo from the human capital agency says federal agencies should change policies and require workers to be in the office full time by the end of the week.

There are exceptions for military spouses and employees with disabilities in the policy, which DOGE leaders have touted as a way to shrink the federal civilian workforce.

Michael Missal, inspector general at the Department of Veterans Affairs since 2016, was one of more than a dozen inspectors general fired by President Donald Trump.

Acting Director Rob Shriver said a one-size-fits-all policy for remote work would “dramatically impact” the government’s ability to handle challenges.
