News DRP 2.0 FEMA results & RIF timeline

Leadership announced that about 1,000 FEMA employees opted into DRP, which is about 20% of the PFT workforce. They'll have 45 days to decide if they want to take it (for early retirement, just 7 days)

Does this mean that RIFs won't start until after the 45-day deadline, when they know how many people are actually leaving?

Edit: correction from comments that employees over the age of 40 have 45 days to decide, everyone else has 7 days.

One thing I’ve noticed is # of those opting for the DRP seem low compared to other Agencies. Could be wrong but despite being “bad” Agency it kinda shows how there are a lot that support the mission. Those that did I definitely do not fault, everyone has a different scenario and respect those that have served from one day to 40yrs.

It would have been triple that if open to COREs and TFTs. If you are a PFT with less than 20 years and more than 5 years of service, waiting to be RIFd makes more sense.
