  The workers have until 5 p.m. on Friday to submit a response for the so-called voluntary separation offer.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is offering buyouts of up to $25,000 to workers in its Medicare and Medicaid divisions as part of a cost-saving initiative, according to a report by Fortune on March 9, 2025. This move, aimed at reducing the federal workforce, comes amidst ongoing budget constraints and is part of a broader effort to streamline operations within these critical healthcare programs. The buyout offers are available to eligible employees who voluntarily choose to leave their positions, and the initiative has sparked discussions about the potential impact on service delivery and staffing levels within these essential services. Additionally, the article mentions that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has criticized the buyouts, arguing that they could undermine the effectiveness of Medicare and Medicaid at a time when they are most needed.
