Reuters reported on the dismissal of the remaining USAID employees in July and September.

The remaining employees of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will be laid off in July and September. This was reported on March 28 by the Reuters news agency, citing sources.

According to the newspaper, the administration of US President Donald Trump informed Congress that it would cut almost all remaining jobs at USAID, as well as close the agency.

The department's employees were sent a memo from Jeremy Levine of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), who is also the deputy head of USAID, stating that agency employees will be given the choice to leave on July 1 or September 2.

"Thousands of USAID and foreign service employees seconded to the agency learned from an internal memo that all positions not provided for by law would be eliminated in July and September," the statement said.
