First I think we need to know what JSA is.
My husband retired from the state (Tx) 3 yrs ago at the age of 53, but it was a disability retirement. A person has to be employed for a minimum of 10 yrs in order to receive this retirement.
For a 'normal' retirement, they only had to be employed for 20 yrs to retire. So feasibly, if someone began working there at age 25, they could retire at the age of 45. However, the monthly annuity would be quite small simply because they calculate it based on the average lifespan and how many years remain for that person to reach it, along with salary info, how much is in the employee's mandatory retirement account, and other factors.
So, the longer a person stays employed by the state, the higher the monthly annuity would be upon retirement.
As an example, if my husband had been able to remain employed until retirement age, his annuity would have been around $2,000/month. However, because he had to retire at 53, about 10 yrs before his retirement age, and because he only had 10 yrs in with the state, his annuity is just a bit over $400/mo.
I don't know if this information is helpful to you since I don't know what JSA is; that may make a big difference. Also, not knowing what state you're in, each state may have its own policies with regard to retirement, so you would want to check with them. They should have information on their website (Tx does), and contact info for additional questions.
Hope this helped at least some.
(EDIT: dancingcar, thank you for the clarification of what JSA stands for. Appreciate it!)

I think the State retirement age is something like 60, so no. And the State pension is a pittance so get a high earning job, quick!

Why have you assumed that people know what JSA is. Or, are you only interested in replies from people who know what it means?
