Summary
HR 7256 amends the law to raise the ceiling on voluntary separation incentive payments for federal workers. Agency heads can set the payment, but it cannot exceed six months of the employee’s salary at the rate they earned right before leaving. The change is meant to give the government more flexibility to encourage early departures when needed.
