Federal workers who accept the Trump administration's deferred resignation offer would work through Feb. 28 and be placed on administrative leave March 1.

At least 20,000 federal workers - roughly 1% of the civilian federal workforce - have accepted the deferred resignation offer to leave the federal government since last week, an official with the Trump Administration told ABC News. It’s unclear how many of the workers were already planning to retire, or eligible to retire in the coming months.
