Health Care Reform: Safe Harbor for Determining Full-Time Employee Status. New guidance has been issued on two requirements under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Act) that will become effective in 2014.
Early retirement benefits will continue to be available at age 62, but they will be reduced more. When the full-benefit age reaches 67, benefits taken at age 62 will be reduced to 70 percent of the full benefit and benefits first taken at age 65 will be reduced to 86.7 percent of the full benefit.
Calculating Your Benefit. Retirement Benefits. You can retire as early as age 52 as long as you are vested. Your Normal Retirement Age under the Pension Plan is 65 as long as you are vested when you turn 65. However, if you are not vested at age 65, you will reach your Normal Retirement Age later if and when you vest.
