Matt Cutler had been a longtime employee of the Administration for Community Living. But as of 5 a.m. Tuesday, he became one of thousands of Health and Human Services employees to lose their jobs in the latest sweeping round of cuts at the agency.
A few hours after he received a “reduction in force” email, Cutler was part of a group stationed in the Senate office buildings asking senators how they planned to respond.
Cutler said that while the morning had been overwhelming to process, he was more concerned about the gaps in care that would now occur. The HHS reorganization will dissolve ACL and rearrange those programs across other agencies. ACL is the agency responsible for supporting aging and disabled individuals.
