Administration trying to bury evidence of the Probationary firings
It looks like cms/hhs is scrubbing the records from the 2025 probationary firings.
i received an overnight package directly from cms headquarters with a newly issued sf-50 for my may 8, 2025 termination. the action itself is from 2025, but the sf-50 was approved/issued on may 6, 2026.
At first i thought it was a duplicate, but looking closer this version is coded differently from my earlier sf-50. the earlier one was coded as “term. during prob/trial period” under 5 cfr 315.804. this new one is coded as “termination” and cites eo 14170 and 5 cfr 11.5(d).
This looks like records cleanup / litigation cleanup now that we were certified as a class. The administration used false performance rationales, got called out for it, and now the lawyers who haven’t quit seem to be trying to clean up the paperwork after the fact.
if anyone else in the hhs/cms probationary group has received a newly issued sf-50 with changed codes or legal authority, compare it to your prior version. this may be broader than one person.
No b1tch-ass lawyer with any scruples is still working for this administration.
