The CFO of the Office of Personnel Management, the chief HR agency for the federal government, resigns

The Office of Personnel Management is the main human-resources agency for the federal workforce.

Erica Roach, the chief financial officer of the US Office of Personnel Management, resigned this week.

Roach confirmed the news to B-17 on Wednesday. She declined to comment further.

The Office of Personnel Management is the chief human-resources agency for the federal government. The office manages $1.1 trillion in assets under the Earned Benefits Trust Funds, which finance retirement, health, and life insurance benefits for millions of federal workers.

Roach worked at OPM for eight years, her LinkedIn shows. She served as the CFO for just under a year and a half.

The ABC News reporter Ben Siegel first reported Roach’s resignation in an X post on Wednesday evening, citing unnamed sources who said she was pushed out.

OPM didn’t respond to a request for comment from B-17.

Roach’s departure has come as the federal workforce undergoes a massive shake-up under President Donald Trump’s second term in office.

Last month, the Trump administration gave federal employees from January 28 to February 6 to accept a buyout offer if they didn’t want to work for the administration.

Those who took the buyout are set to receive full pay and benefits through September. The offer was extended to all federal employees except those working in military, postal, immigration, and national security roles.

A White House spokesperson told B-17 in a story published Tuesday that more than 20,000 workers had accepted the buyouts. A spokesperson for OPM said the agency was expecting a spike of resignations to come 24 to 48 hours before the deadline.

The federal government employs more than 2 million people.
