23. Oh, I agree 100% that people termed it a buyout...

...but that's never what it was, except for that last link you posted with the $25,000 cash lump sum - that to me is obviously illegal, because as you've pointed out, no funds have been appropriated for a buyout.

As it pertains to the DRP, none of the documentation I received, from the initial OPM email through all of agency paperwork, ever included the word buyout. I looked specifically for that term, because as you've pointed out, that would not be legal, given how the money was appropriated.

At my agency, and this is pretty standard for any agency with high-level security clearances, employees were put on extended admin leave fairly frequently if concerns were raised and their clearance had to be re-adjudicated. Once re-adjudication was completed, they either returned to work, quit/retired, or were fired, depending on the outcome of the re-adjudication.

The only difference with DRP is that it was voluntary v. mandated.
