House Democrats Question "Drastic" Staff Cuts at DOL's Employee Benefits Security Administration

Leading Democrats on the House Education & Workforce Committee are demanding answers from the Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) regarding significant staff reductions, exceeding 20% since the start of the second Trump administration, and underfunding. Lawmakers express concern that these cuts may hinder EBSA's ability to enforce the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and safeguard workers' employment-based benefits.
