The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued this memorandum to provide guidance on the presidential memorandum directing a return to in-person work in federal agencies. The January 22, 2025 memorandum ordered agencies to update their telework policies by January 24, 2025, and to strive to achieve full compliance with the president's memorandum within 30 days. It also provided that "[i]f an employee’s official duty station is more than 50 miles from any existing agency office, the agency should take steps to move the employee’s duty station to the most appropriate agency office based on the employee’s duties and job function."
