Consumer Financial Protection Bureau staff to work remotely, HQ shuttered

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau staff to work remotely, HQ shuttered

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau employees were instructed to work remotely as their headquarters in Washington, D.C., remained closed through Feb. 14. This decision came after a memo from CFPB Chief Operating Officer Adam Martinez, following an email from acting CFPB director Russell Vought, instructing staff to suspend most activities of the regulator, including supervising financial firms.

The concerns arose after operatives from Elon Musk’s DOGE arrived at the CFPB last week. These DOGE employees were granted access to CFPB data sources, including staff performance reviews. Musk, who had previously called for the deletion of the CFPB, posted “CFPB RIP” on his social media platform, X.

Acting director Russell Vought, who was recently confirmed as President Trump’s head of the Office of Management and Budget, announced a freeze on nearly all CFPB activities in his inaugural memo. He also stated that he was halting the flow of fresh funding to the agency, citing accountability issues within the CFPB.

With rumors of layoffs circulating, CFPB employees are concerned about being put on administrative leave or losing their jobs. While there are approximately 1,700 CFPB employees, only a few hundred have positions mandated by law to exist. Mass layoffs could jeopardize the mission of the CFPB, which was created to protect Americans from financial exploitation following the 2008 crisis.

Several CFPB initiatives, including restrictions on credit card and overdraft fees, as well as a rule to remove medical bills from credit reports, are at risk if layoffs occur. These efforts were estimated to save consumers tens of billions of dollars. Bank trade groups have long opposed the CFPB’s regulations and have even attempted to declare the agency unconstitutional in court.

The future of the CFPB remains uncertain as employees await further updates on their status. The agency and representatives for Elon Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the situation.
