“About 75,000 federal workers accepted the Trump administration’s deferred buyout program, a senior administration official told Semafor. The news comes just hours after a federal judge lifted a pause on the program, which offered over two million federal employees to be paid through Sept. 30 if they resign by a certain date. The original deadline to resign was Feb. 6, but that was extended amid the legal pushback. … Tonight’s final numbers represent around 3.75% of the workforce, and includes those offered a buyout in the CIA. Trump’s buyout program is part of the administration’s efforts to reduce the federal workforce.” (02/12/25)
