Internal Security Security Minister Christie Nayyim has provided employees of one of the largest federal government agencies to buy Monday evening, giving them a week to decide whether they want to leave the federal workforce.
E-mail-which looks like an e-mail “a thorn on the road” sent to government employees-provides the Ministry of National Security officials the opportunity to take a postponed resignation, early retirement, or a cut-off purchase process of $ 25,000.
DHS is one of the largest departments in the federal government, with about 250,000 employees. It includes the enforcement of immigration and customs (ICE), FBA, secret service, coast guard, and other agencies. Naim said at the television cabinet meeting in March that she plans to “remove Fema”.
In her e -mail, Naim said that the acquisition offer in general is not extended to include law enforcement officials, which includes Ice agents.
“As a rule, law enforcement officials will be exempt from participating in these programs because of their important basic responsibilities,” she wrote.
According to Noem’s email, the broken amount policy is the salaries of separation.

Naim wrote in the email, which was aimed at “reflecting our commitment to aligning the workforce in DHS”.

DHS workforce reshaping
Dear colleagues, DHS,
I write to exchange important news regarding the new voluntary workforce transmission programs approved for immediate implementation across the department. These initiatives – known combined in the name of the Workforce Transition Program (WTP) – including the deferred resignation program (DRP), the voluntary early pension (VERA) and the payment of voluntary separation incentive (VSIP). Together, it reflects our commitment to aligning our workforce with the advanced task needs while supporting personal and professional goals for our dedicated employees. The components will provide instructions for any of these three programs available to their workforce, to include the residents who are excluded from the workforce in the critical interface line on our mission. As a rule, law enforcement officials will be exempt from participating in these programs due to their important basic responsibilities.
1. Delayed Reviving Program (DRP)
This program provides qualified employees an organized and supportive path to the transition from DHS. Those who choose to participate will receive a short period of administrative leave paid to complete the main tasks, provide retirement documents, and prepare to leave. Most transformations are expected to be completed under this program by the end of the fiscal year 2025, although the exact dates may vary according to individual conditions.
2. Voluntary Pension Authority (VERA)
Under 5 USC S§ 8336 (D) (2) (CSRS) and 8414 (B) (1) (B) (Fers), Vera allows qualified employees who meet the requirements of age and service to retire early. This option helps employees to retire with a guarantee that DHS can meet advanced needs through our components.
3. Pay the incentives of the Voluntary Chapter (VSIP)
It is often referred to as the “acquisition”, and this option provides a cut batch of up to $ 25,000 (or an amount equal to separation salaries if it is less) for employees in the roles specified for voluntary departure.
By providing these options, we intend to provide flexibility for employees who may consider changing, retirement or new job opportunities, while supporting the operational readiness of the administration. If you think that any or all of these programs may be suitable for you, please monitor additional ads from the component leadership office or the human resources office, where you will find specific eligibility standards, detailed instructions, and temporal streams. Your decision to apply for any of these programs will be worth NLT 11:59 et on April 14, 2025.
Thank you for your continued dedication to the Ministry of Internal Security and our nation’s security. Your service and professional efficiency are very appreciated. If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact the Human Resources Office or the supervisor for additional guidelines.
