Federal employees face a deadline on Thursday to decide whether to accept a deferred resignation offer from the Trump administration.

The offer includes a number of provisions that are unclear and not guaranteed, experts say.

If workers accept, they would continue getting paid through September but be excused from duty.

The White House expects to convince up to roughly 10% of the federal workforce to resign, saving $100 billion a year in costs.

Federal employee unions are chafing at the OPM 's nine-day window for workers to make a decision.

The offer also fails to consider the impact of widespread resignations on the government's ability to provide services to Americans , the union suit alleges.

A sweeping job-cutting measure could cause chaos if agencies lacked enough staff to handle some services such as Social Security verification, experts say.
