is there bill for military retirement to start at 55 instead of 60 after 25years of service?

Answer 1

There is a proposal to credit members of the reserves and National Guard for time spent on deployments and mobilization status. Normally retired members of the reserve components do not start receiving retirement pay until age 60. The proposal is to advance the date they can start receiving this pay by one year for every year they spent on active duty up to the earliest age of 55.

Answer 2

For active duty military, retirement begins immediately (not at 55 or 60) following the start of retirement. You have to compete 20 years of active duty to qualify. If you are asking about the reserves (you did not say), I don't know.

Answer 3

I don't know where you are getting your information, but a person can retire from the military after 20 years of service. There is no age requirement. If a person joined the military at 18 years old, and served 20 years, he is entitled to retirement benefits at 38 years old.

Answer 4

You can retire from the military after 20 years of serving active duty but you don't have to.

Answer 5

My husband retired from the Air Force after 20 years and he gets a retirement. There is no age limit that I am aware of.

Answer 6

Military retirement starts when you retire from the military.

Answer 7

I thought it was just 25 years that made you eligible for retirement. My dad is ex USAF and that's what he said.
