Approximately 75,000 federal employees have accepted the White House’s “deferred resignation” offer, allowing them to resign but be paid through September. This offer, which closed on Wednesday after a federal judge allowed it to proceed, attracted less than 5% of the federal workforce, falling short of the administration’s expectations of 5% to 10%. The attrition rate of the federal workforce in fiscal year 2023 was 5.9%. U.S. District Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. allowed the offer to proceed, stating that the unions opposing it did not have legal standing to bring the case. The Office of Personnel Management welcomed this decision, emphasizing the program’s legality and value for federal employees. The program was designed to help federal workers plan for their futures and provide generous benefits.
