Staffers at the Department of Education have reportedly been warned by top officials at the agency that the Trump administration's buyout offer to quit now and get paid through September could be rescinded without warning.

The employees were informed Wednesday that the education secretary could cancel the so-called "deferred resignation" package and that they could potentially miss out on the promised pay, NBC News reported.
