At age 60, I am eligible to receive my Reservist military pension. Can I still receive my full Social Security benefits?

to be sure just give the social security office a call but my federal pension from working for the VA will be decreased by,i think,75 cents for every dollar i get from soc.sec.
so,in total i'll be 25 cents ahead.

No. Your Social Security benefit won't be reduced. However, in terms of deciding the taxability of that Social Security payment, your military pension will be considered outside income. Currently, because of my military pension, 85% of my Social Security check is considered to be taxable.

With Social Security, every individual is treated differently. You would need to contact the Social Security: www.ssa.gov will provide phone numbers and addresses near you, or look in the phone book, government section, Federal listings under that.
Since you said "pension", supposedly it will not take away, but, as I say, they do things differently for different people, depending upon the exact situation.

Your military pension should not decrease your SS benefits. I draw both with no loss.
