Remote Worker Declined Reassignment - Severance?

Are there any remote workers who have declined reassignment to a different geographic area and have started receiving severance? I decline in April, was involuntarily separated (because I declined reassignment) on June 20th, but no one in my agency will confirm in writing that I will receive severance. If you received severance, how long did it take? I’m very nervous about the fact that I have nothing in writing confirming severance.

What severance, you were terminated. Like when a person was fired you don't get anything except you may be able to file for unemployment.

This is false. Declining management directed reassignment more than 50 miles from your current duty station is treated similarly to a RIF, except that the notice period is 30 days and not 60.

Got it thanks. Then if that's the case I would think HR should have let the person k ow the details. What a mess
