What’s your source for this? My benefits statement from OPM shows I would get severance as a GS 15– the only exception I know of is if you are eligible for discontinued service retirement (I think thats over 50 with 25 yrs or 25 yrs of service).

Whether you get severance pay depend on your salary. High earners will not receive it.

First of all, I'm very very sorry for those who are affected and RIFed by the government recently. It is a hard time and we wish you the very best as you move forward. Thank you for your service and be proud of yourself.

Now if I dare, can I ask a selfish question. Do you get the appropriate severance pay that the government is supposed to give you? Like what is described here https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/pay-administration/fact-sheets/severance-pay/

I'm asking as I'm also a fed. With the possibility of another round of RIF coming, I'm exploring my options and hope to make informed decisions. TIA.
