Federal News Network reports this evening that

“OPM has received the resignation of OPM Director Dale Cabaniss,” an agency spokesperson said in an email to Federal News Network.

Michael Rigas, OPM’s deputy director, will lead the agency on an acting basis, the spokesperson added.

Ms. Cabaniss was in office for around six months. Stunning.

Federal News Network adds that

[Ms.] Cabaniss joined OPM back in September, replacing Margaret Weichert, who had served as the agency’s acting director and permanent deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget for nearly a year. [Ms.] Weichert, who was supposed to leave on March 13, is staying on at OMB for the short term, sources confirmed to Federal News Network. It’s unclear what the resignation of Cabaniss would mean for [Ms.} Weichert’s length of stay in government.
