Fire the people who are still in their probationary period and who would be entitled to minimal or no severance, I would guess. Of course, in this environment, if they were hired, they are also probably in jobs where they are really needed.  But, I’m 50 and have been a Fed for 20 years. Fire me and you owe me 52 weeks severance. [/quote]

Assuming that all 20 years count towards retirement, you won't receive any severance pay. Once you are eligible for retirement, there's no severance pay. You are either eligible for VERA (Voluntary) retirement or DSR (Involuntary) retirement, depending on what will be offered to you. So, you will get a pension with lifetime subsidized health insurance, but no severance pay.[/quote]

A 50 year old with 20 years is not eligible for retirement

NP and you are incorrect.  A fed that is 50 years old with 20 years of service is eligible for a discontinued service retirement as the prior PP stated.  Refer to Section 44A1.1-2.B. of this OPM publication:  https://www.opm.gov/retirement-center/publications-forms/csrsfers-handbook/c044.pdf

Note also that a fed with 25 years of service is eligible for a DSR at any age.[/quote]
