The U.S. government proposes early retirement for 68,000 workers to cut 40,000 jobs, pending approval.
The federal government is informing about 68,000 public servants about a proposed early retirement program set to launch as early as January 2026, aiming to reduce the workforce by 40,000 from its 2023–24 peak.
Eligible employees may retire early without pension penalties, but participation depends on maintaining essential services and requires legislative approval.
The application window will open after January 15, 2026, or passage of the law, whichever comes later, with accepted employees required to retire within 300 days.
The government emphasizes voluntary departures and reassignments over layoffs, but unions have criticized the lack of transparency and raised concerns about potential financial impacts on workers.
