Social Security Administration preempts DOGE cuts with $25,000 'early out' option

The Social Security Administration is preparing for “significant workforce reductions.” As part of these changes, it has offered current employees up to $25,000 to resign.

The Office of Personnel Management issued a memorandum earlier this week advising agency heads to have their reorganization plans developed by March 13, including reductions in the workforce as part of the Department of Government Efficiency‘s efforts to cut waste in the federal government. The SSA issued a message to its employees Thursday discussing options as it begins its reorganization plan.
