Who knows if this administration will follow the law, but employees should receive severance if they decline reassignment outside their geographic region.


That is not what happened for ERS when they moved it to Kansas City.

What happen if RIFed (get severance pay) then accepted another fed position later (a few months later or 1-2 years later)?

No, GS1500 series family (STEM major). But worry about reorganization or whatever reason, I am tired of drama.


why you started panicking for no reason? Chill, OP, and let the trouble come to you and don't go and find trouble.

Around 15 years of service, more than 40 years old.

I am not laid off yet, but would like to make a plan if I am RIFed. Job market is bad, not sure if I can find a job with similar paycheck, or how long will it take to get a job. I may need to be Uber Eat delivery for some time before find another job.

I am concerned about income source if suddenly laid off, since there are bills (mortgage, auto loan, etc).
