In a troubling turn of events, several federal employees who experienced a tumultuous employment history under the Trump administration are discovering that their health insurance coverage has lapsed.

Advocates for federal workers are calling for clarity and accountability in the handling of these benefits, emphasizing the need for a streamlined process that ensures employees are fully informed of their health insurance status.
