I meet the service requirement with 20 years of service, but not the age requirement. Would my 50th birthday be the earliest date I could retire?
Yes, provided your birthday is within the offer window. For retirement purposes an employee legally meets the age requirement the day before a birthday. For example, an employee meeting the service requirement who will be 50 years old on October 4 would be eligible to retire if the last date of the VER offer would be October 3.
