Unlike in baseball and the NFL, where early pension can be applied for at age 45, the NBA player is due significant annual benefits at age 30, or the first year he retires.
Only retired players who played at least one NFL season prior to 1993 may elect to begin to receive benefits as of their 45th birthday. All other players must wait until age 55. Players who begin drawing their NFL pension before age 55 are penalized for doing so. This is referred to as âearly retirementâ. For example, a player who begins drawing his pension benefits at age 45 would only receive 45.2% of the monthly benefit that he would receive if he waited to draw his NFL pension at age 55. If a player waits until later than his 55th birthday to begin drawing his NFL pension, his monthly benefit will increase.
