This program provides employees with an option to submit a deferred resignation letter with resignation effective on September 30, 2025. Deferred resignation exempts those employees who choose it from return-to-office requirements.  \nEmployees who accept deferred resignation should promptly have their duties re-assigned or eliminated and be placed on paid administrative leave until the end of the deferred resignation period (generally, September 30, 2025, unless the employee has elected another earlier resignation date), unless the agency head determines that it is necessary for the employee to be actively engaged in transitioning job duties, in which case employees should be placed on administrative leave as soon as those duties are transitioned.  \nIn addition, each week (no later than Friday at 5:00 PM) through September 30, 2025, agencies should email to [tracking@opm.gov](tracking@opm.gov) the following information:  \n• The number of employees who have offered their resignations as part of the deferred resignation program;  \n• The number of agency employees who are part of the deferred resignation program placed on administrative leave;  \n• The number of agency employees who have applied for early and normal retirement since January 27, 2025;  \n• The number of agency employees who have actually resigned (and whether or not such employee had previously submitted accepted Deferred Resignation) beginning January 27, 2025;  \n• The number of employees who have sought to rescind their resignations, and the status of each request;  \n• The number of applications to extend the deferred resignation deadline (beyond February 6);  \n• The number of applications from potential retirees to extend the deferred resignation end-date beyond September 30, 2025 (to accommodate impending retirement); and  \n• The roles and number of personnel excluded by your agency from the deferred resignation program.  \nAttached as Appendix 1 are FAQs that OPM is providing for Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCOs) regarding the deferred resignation program.  \nPlease contact [tracking@opm.gov](tracking@opm.gov) if you have any questions regarding this memorandum.  \ncc: CHCOs, Deputy CHCOs, Human Resources Directors, and Chiefs of Staff  \nAppendix 1: Deferred Resignation FAQs for CHCOs  \nQ: Why is the federal government offering deferred resignation to the federal workforce?  \nA: The federal workforce is expected to undergo significant near-term changes. As a result of these changes and uncertainty, or for other reasons, some employees may wish to depart the federal government on terms that provide them with sufficient time and economic security to plan for their future.  \nQ: Who is eligible for deferred resignation?  \nA: Deferred resignation is available to all full-time federal employees except for military personnel of the armed forces the U.S. Postal Service, positions related to immigration enforcement and national security, and any other positions specifically excluded by your employing agency.  \nQ: What do we do if employees did not receive the deferred resignation email?  \nA: Either:  \n1) Send the email directly to the employee from your agency.  \n2) Direct the employee to visit the OPM website where they can review the email and all associated instructions.  \nQ: What happens if employees do not respond to the email or accept deferred resignation?  \nA: Nothing. Employees have no obligation to respond to the email. Accepting deferred resignation is in employees’ sole discretion and is completely voluntary.  \nQ: For employees who ","cbCaimfEr7Wbgede","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimfEr7Wbgede","pdf",210441,"English","# Memorandum Overview\n## Program Purpose and Effect\n## Duty Reassignment and Administrative Leave\n## Weekly Reporting Requirements\n# Appendix 1: Deferred Resignation FAQs for CHCOs\n## Eligibility\n## Email and Response Process\n## Retirement During the Period\n## Waivers, Extensions, and Rescission","[{\"question\":\"Why is the federal government offering deferred resignation?\",\"answer\":\"The federal workforce is expected to undergo significant near-term changes, and the program provides time and economic security for employees to plan their future departure.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is eligible for deferred resignation?\",\"answer\":\"Deferred resignation is available to all full-time federal employees except for certain excluded categories, including military personnel of the armed forces, U.S. Postal Service, immigration enforcement and national security-related positions, and any other positions specifically excluded by the employing agency.\"},{\"question\":\"What reporting information must agencies send weekly through September 30, 2025?\",\"answer\":\"Agencies must email counts of participating employees, those placed on administrative leave, retirement applications and actual retirements/resignations, rescission request counts and statuses, extension applications, requests to extend beyond September 30, 2025, and the roles and number of personnel excluded by the agency.\"}]","OPM Guidance Regarding Deferred Resignation Program - January 28, 2025 | PDF"]
