Most
nurses, doctors, and other staff caring for military veterans through the Department
of Veterans Affairs are
not eligible for the Trump administration's deferred resignation offer,
according to an email sent Friday by VA leadership to staff.
Nurses
had been among those who received the original offer, but their unions had
discouraged them from accepting, saying an exodus would directly and
immediately affect the care of its 9.1 million enrolled veterans.
The
new email, which was reviewed by The Associated Press, included an attached
letter from VA's human resources department and a spreadsheet with a list of
more than 130 occupations labeled "VA EXEMPTION REQUESTS."
"It
seems like it's almost everyone," said Mary-Jean Burke, a physical
therapist and American Federation of Government Employees leader. "We are
trying to figure out who is eligible."
The
occupations the VA deemed ineligible for the offer range from laundry workers
and cooks to nurses, pharmacists, and physicians. Those eligible, according to
the VA's letter, include full-time probationary employees and possibly some
employees who were going to retire in 2025.
"People
are frightened [and] mildly stressed about the unusualness of it all,"
Burke said.
A
VA spokesperson said the agency worked closely with the White House and the
Office of Personnel Management to identify the occupations that aren't eligible
for resignation program.
"Exempting
these occupations from the program will ensure VA continues providing
mission-critical healthcare, benefits, and memorial services to our nation's
veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors," the spokesperson
said.
On
Thursday, a federal judge temporarily blocked the deferred resignation program,
which was orchestrated by Trump adviser Elon Musk. The judge ordered the
Republican administration to extend the deadline until Monday.
Nurses
for the VA — the federal government's largest employer — comprise the biggest
single group of federal workers, numbering more than 100,000 and accounting for
5% of all full-time permanent employees, according to an Associated Press
analysis of personnel data.
