This is how long the hiring freeze will last and the implications for federal employees, those with job offers and college graduates and students.

Trump’s freeze this time around is set to expire after 90 days, though agencies will first have to submit plans—in consultation with OMB and Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency—to permanently reduce their rolls through efficiencies and attrition. The Internal Revenue Service will face a longer freeze, per Trump’s order.

President Trump signed executive orders Monday freezing the hiring of federal workers and mandating a full-time return to in-office work for government employees. Why it matters: The mandates will affect the many thousands of federal workers who live and work in the DMV.
