Bill overview
This bill aims to encourage federal employees to voluntarily leave their jobs by increasing the amount they can receive as an incentive. It modifies a law that allows the government to offer payments to employees who choose to retire or resign early. Specifically, it raises the maximum incentive payment to six months’ salary, based on the employee’s most recent pay rate, similar to the process used for calculating total severance pay. The goal is to reduce the size of the federal workforce.
