USA TODAY reported that under current federal guidelines, only certain employees are eligible for severance pay.

The White House memo ordered federal agencies to pause all grants and loans, creating uncertainty for Kentucky recipients.

The buyouts are for all full-time federal employees except for military personnel, U.S. Postal Service employees and those in positions related to immigration enforcement and national security.

The Trump administration is offering what amounts to buyouts for federal workers who don’t want to return to the office as part of the president’s breakneck efforts to reshape the government in his second term.
