Federal Workforce Early Separation Incentives Act
Refreshed 3 h ago
Introduced 2026-01-27Topic: labor · budgetSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes federal law on voluntary separation incentive payments, which are payments made to federal employees who agree to leave their jobs. Under the bill, the head of each agency would decide the amount of the payment. The payment could not be more than 6 months of the employee's pay at the rate they received right before leaving. The pay amount would be figured the same way as the existing limit on total severance pay.
