At least 20,000 federal employees have reportedly accepted the Trump administration’s deferred resignation offer, totaling about 1% of the federal workforce. Last week, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management sent an email to nearly 2.

The taunt was part of another White House email urging federal employees to accept a "deferred resignation" offer.

Here’s what we know about the deferred resignation program offered to federal employees by the Trump administration.

The Trump administration issued an email blast on Jan. 28 giving most of the country’s 2.3 million eligible employees federal workers the option to resign with pay through Sept. 30. The deadline to decide on whether to accept the offer is Thursday.

The White House expects up to 10% of federal employees to quit in a program meant to end work-from-home practices, senior administration officials said.

The Trump administration said on Sunday that federal employees involved in public safety positions, such as air traffic controllers, are exempt from a financial incentive to quit government jobs.

After all, the federal government isn’t funded until the end of this fiscal year. Spending will run out in mid-March, and lawmakers will have to pass another stopgap bill to keep agencies open. Employees who joined the resignation program could be left in the lurch.
