Republican officials have quietly noted that the Trump administration is the so -called Purchase Program It is illegal, but they doubt that Congress Republicans go back, they said sources in CBS News.
Many federal workers saw an e -mail early on Monday morning when they reached their desks, who provided more details of the differences of renouncing.
Some legislators have noticed the payment of the payment until September 30 violas the law against deficiency, a law that prevents the Government from promising or spending money in excess of what Congress has made available. Congress has funded the Government only in mid -March, not until the end of the fiscal year at the end of September.
A spokesman for the Trump Administration Management Office emphasized that no salary of federal employees will be guaranteed with the deadline.
The new email, with “Fork in the Road” on the subject line, is the third sent by OPM to the resignation plan. It is said:
Q: The current Federal Government’s current financing bill expires on March 14. I will still receive complete remuneration and benefits if the money is over?
A: Any Government stop could affect an employee’s payment regardless of whether he has accepted the deferred resignation offer. On the other hand, if you accept the deferred supply offer, you will still be entitled to the basis of funds by virtue of the Fair Treatment Law of Government employees.
A Republican said in a text message: “Anyone else would be out of an agency to go to $ 1 beyond appropriate dollars. At the back of the napkin math to pay to pay all federal employees For 6.5 months beyond the current appropriations it is about $ 50 million, not everyone will take the offer, but it is offered to all of them, so it is an obligation.
Two legislators said that the Trump administration’s offer to pay federal employees accepting the resignation proposal is not within the Power of the OPM. They say that the proposal, which gives workers until Thursday to accept the terms of purchase that pay them until September, has a cost on behalf of the Government that has not been authorized by Congress.
