President Trump is offering buyouts to millions of federal workers if they resign by February 6.
The federal workers who accept Trump’s offer will receive pay and benefits through September 30.
Trump is offering the buyouts to make sure all federal workers are “on board with the new administration’s plan to have federal employees in office,” CNBC reported.
Only 6% of all federal workers actually work full-time in the office!
Trump’s offer does not include postal workers, military, immigration officials or people in national security roles.

The Trump administration is offering millions of federal workers the option to accept buyouts through a government-wide “deferred resignation” program if they resign by Feb. 6.
Those who accept the offer will receive pay and benefits through Sept. 30, according to a draft email obtained Tuesday by NBC News.
The sweeping buyouts are being offered to “make sure that all federal workers are on board with the new administration’s plan to have federal employees in office and adhering to higher standards,” a senior administration official told NBC on condition of anonymity.
“We’re five years past COVID and just 6 percent of federal employees work full-time in office. That is unacceptable,” the official said, citing a report from Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who co-chairs the congressional DOGE caucus.
The White House expects up to 10% of federal employees to take the buyout, the official said.
