Approximately 75,000 federal employees have accepted the White House’s “deferred resignation” offer, allowing them to resign but continue receiving pay through September. This offer was made to less than 5% of the federal workforce, falling short of the administration’s goal of 5-10%. The attrition rate of the federal workforce in fiscal year 2023 was 5.9%. A federal judge initially halted the program but later allowed it to proceed, ruling that the unions suing to stop it did not have legal standing. The Office of Personnel Management applauded the decision, stating that the program was legal and beneficial for federal employees. As of Wednesday evening, the offer was officially closed.
