EXACTLY. There is going to be an entire American populace who is totally cool with a bunch of people IDENTIFIED as sitting home on their fat lazy assets and getting paid for, what? 7 or 8 months? And doing nothing?
While bird flu hits and eggs are gone and we're right back at the start of COVID with regular people having to do their jobs and risk dying?
Yeah right. Pull the other one with the bells.
Also, clawback could be an unintended consequence. Someone takes this, regrets it, sues to say it’s illegal and they didn’t actually resign, and it’s declared illegal. What happens next? Agencies have to take measures in the law to clawback funds. I’m working at SSa right now as we deal with overpayments. It’s a real issue.
Exactly.

If you weren't working, you don't have the protection of being required to be paid for work. Maybe it just gets taken back.
Who is going to challenge this? It is a benefit, not a punishment, so individual employees or unions won’t. The Trump executive departments won’t challenge it.

This is like asking who could challenge Biden’s student loan forgiveness efforts. The lawyers find a way.
