OPM “allows agencies who are low or restructured to offer lump sum payments to employees up to $ 25,000 as encouragement to voluntarily separate the employees, according to the email. This encouragement is aimed at the purpose of those who are in surplus positions or they have skills that are no longer needed within their department.
