Original Note:
There is no legal authority to permit the federal government to pay employees not to work for this length of time. Per 5 USC 6329a, only ten days of paid administrative leave are allowed per year. By law, actual buyouts (VSIP) are capped at $25k. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title5-section6329a&num=0&edition=prelim https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/workforce-restructuring/voluntary-separation-incentive-payments/
