Resignation Emails

Girlfriend works for the BLM and has been thinking about getting out of fire for a bit now and was going to use this deferred resignation as a way out and see what happens kind of thing. She emailed HR asking if she qualified for it since all the emails say full time employees and she Perm Seasonal. She got a email back today stating that since she is a Fire Fighter she is not granted the deferred resignation. The HR person went on and said she was sorry for being the one to break the bad news. My girlfriend is under the new PD as a Senior Firefighter and not a technician so I’m not sure if that makes a difference. Just wanted to pass this along since everyone top to bottom in both the FS (who I work for) and the BLM has different things to say.
