In a significant move to reshape the federal workforce, the Trump administration is offering "deferred resignation" packages to federal employees who choose not to return to in-office work. This initiative includes a severance package of approximately eight months' pay and benefits, with resignations required by February 6, 2025. Employees who accept the offer will continue to receive pay and benefits until September 30, 2025.
The administration anticipates that between 5% to 10% of the federal workforce, which comprises about two million employees, will accept the buyout. This expectation aligns with President Trump's broader strategy to reduce the size. . .
