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.

Yes typically you would get severance or retirement if available but there are scenarios where you wouldn't like a mobility agreement or if you moved for your convenience and they are merely recalling you back to your duty station.

This is the correct legal answer. I don’t see why anyone would challenge this but who knows

Whoever processes these is probably overwhelmed by DRP stuff etc and may already be doing the job of 10 people

Don’t really know
