What to know about President Trump's buyouts for federal workers as deadline arrives

Feb 06, 2025
President Trump is making a big decision for over 2 million federal workers. They have to choose if they want to keep their jobs or resign. Trump is offering them a lot of money to leave their jobs. Some workers are worried and scared about what to do. A judge will decide if Trump's plan can happen. Workers have until the end of the day to decide. The offer gives workers eight months of pay and benefits if they resign by February 6th. They have to decide by 11:59 pm on Thursday. The email about the offer was a surprise with a subject "The Fork in the Road." This came from Elon Musk, who is helping Trump with the government changes. Workers who stay must go back to work in person and follow new rules. They will not have to work if they accept the offer. About 40,000 workers have accepted the offer so far. If not enough workers accept, there could be layoffs or furloughs. Musk is helping Trump with these changes and has a lot of power in the government. Some workers are suing to stop the buyout plan. They say Trump does not have the right to make this offer. The court will decide on Thursday. Democrats in Congress are telling workers not to take the offer because there may not be enough money to pay them. It's a big decision for federal workers, and they have to think carefully about what to do before the deadline.
