Thursday is the deadline for agencies to hand their cost-cutting proposals in to the White House and the Office of Personnel Management .

More than 103,000 federal workers have been laid off as part of efforts by Trump and the tech billionaire Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency to reduce spending.

It's unclear whether those plans will be made public or when agencies will implement them.

At NOAA , sources say the agency’s reduction in force plan involves laying off around 1,000 people across the organization.

NOAA oversees NOAA Fisheries , NOAA Weather Service and NOAA Fisheries .

Social Security has already announced that it is seeking to shed 7,000 positions, or 12% of its workforce.

Union leaders say they have been kept in the dark about agencies' plans.
