It would presumably work the same as non-RIF pay.

Most likely the govt will reopen before your 30-60 day RIF notice period expires so your pay for that period will be deferred and then your severance will be paid upon the later of the govt reopening or your RIF notice period ending.

If you know absolutely nothing about working in the government, why are you here?

severance is not a lump sum, it's paid out for as many pay periods as someone is eligible for.

presumably no severance will pay out during a funding shutdown

Just a hypothetical question, since WH threatens layoff if the government shuts down
