Enhancing Safeguards To Prevent the Undue Denial of Federal Employment Opportunities to the Unemployed and Those Facing Financial Difficulty Through No Fault of Their Own
This memorandum prohibits federal agencies from denying employment or taking adverse action against current employees solely because they are unemployed or facing financial difficulty through no fault of their own, provided they make good-faith efforts to meet obligations.

Advancing Pay Equality in the Federal Government and Learning From Successful Practices

Transparency and Open Government
