The US Department of Health and Human Services increased its voluntary buyout offer for some employees for further layoffs this week as the agency faces pressure to reduce headcount, according to an email viewed by Bloomberg.

Thousands of Department of Health and Human Services employees were offered the option to voluntarily resign in exchange for payments of up to $25,000. Most of HHS’s roughly 80,000 employees are eligible for the offer and have until 5 p.

Most of the 80,000 federal employees working under the Health and Human Services Department were emailed an offer to leave their job for as much as $25,000 as part of the Trump administration's federal workforce cuts.
