I’m a Federal Retiree under FERS. He will still get his Thrift Savings (like a 401k) at age 59 1/2. He will not get any monthly pension since he did not have a 70 combo. 50yrs + 20 yrs. It can be any combo, like 15 years at age 55. But I think you have to be at least 50. Of course different branches have different rules, but that’s the way it was for me. I had 35 years at age 65
Just so I’m clear, the monthly pension is the same as long as there is a 70 combo. So someone hired at 20 who works 50 years, has the same pension as someone hired at 30 who works 40 years, as someone hired at 40 who works 30 years . . . as someone hired at 60 who works 10?
