Thousands of federal workers are newly reeligible for a Trump administration offer paying them to quit as agencies prepare to shed up to half of their staffs, documents reviewed by The Washington Post show.

The deal, extended across at least five agencies in recent days, resurrects an option to resign now and be paid through September that President Donald Trump and his adviser, billionaire Elon Musk, extended early in their push to shrink the workforce. About 75,000 employees took the deal in its first round, officials said then, as unions mounted legal challenges panning the program as arbitrary and coercive.
