I’m a little confused. As far as I can tell, he wasn’t eligible for immediate retirement unless he’s under some plan I’ve never heard of. He has the time in service, but won’t be 50 until May.

I believe he is eligible to apply for deferred retirement, once he hits his minimum retirement age of 55 or so, depending on his year of birth.

Now he will have to buy his own Obamacare and get a job.
