General Discussion

Not by much. And it's not like Biden had much to say about it. Independent agency and all that.

On Jan. 13, 2025, the United States Postal Service and the American Postal Workers Union have mutually agreed to a one-time Retirement Incentive, including an "early out" option for eligible employees.

The parties agree that the Postal Service will make lump sum incentive payments totaling $15,000 (less applicable taxes and deductions) to eligible full-time career employees who choose optional retirement or retire pursuant to a Voluntary Early Retirement (VER). Part-time employees will be eligible for a prorated amount, as provided in the attached Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
