SEC reportedly offering $50K incentive for eligible staff to resign
The SEC is among other US agencies that have been offering staff financial incentives to quit under Trump’s cost-cutting DOGE initiative.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission is reportedly offering eligible employees financial incentives to resign or retire from the agency amid an ongoing wave of staffing changes from the regulator.
The US securities regulator is reportedly offering staff $50,000 to resign or retire by April 4, according to a March 4 Bloomberg report citing an email it reviewed.
The email that described the offer as a “voluntary separation incentive” or “voluntary early retirement program” was reportedly sent on Feb. 28 by SEC Chief Operating Officer Ken Johnson to all employees.
