The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) published a correction to a final rule it released on August 3, 2026. The original rule dealt with how federal employees appeal suitability actions, which are decisions that can bar someone from federal employment based on conduct or character.
Why it matters: This is a minor administrative fix. It ensures the official legal text matches what OPM intended. It does not alter the process for appeals or the standards for suitability determinations.
Who it affects
- Federal employees facing suitability actions
