Deferred Resignation Program for Federal Employees

The US government launched a deferred resignation program, allowing federal employees to apply until February 6, 2025. This program addresses government restructuring and workforce reductions. Employees choosing this option retain pay and benefits until September 30, 2025, and are exempt from daily in-person work requirements. The program excludes military personnel, postal service employees, those in immigration enforcement and national security, and others as specified by their employing agency.
