RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — On Monday, Jan. 28, federal employees received a letter from the Trump administration requesting them to enroll in the Deferred Resignation program by Feb. 6, 2025.
In the letter, the Trump administration gave employees the option to continue to receive compensation and benefits up until Sept. 30, 2025, or stay at work and potentially face termination. So far, more than 40,000 people have signed the letter.
