For answers respectively (based on my company's offer) "offered" means that, they offered, if I don't accept I still keep my job, can't speak for other companies.

I wondered (when I heard an offer was being considered but no details were yet available) what they could offer since we only had a 401k plan, turns out it was 12 weeks of vacation plus 4 weeks for each 5 years of service beyond the first 5 years, so since I'm just now hitting 10 years I'm getting 16 weeks of PTO. Plus I already have a PTO bank of almost 60 days so that will be on top of the money.

Health Insurance? My company offered it to 63 and older (I'm 65) and they are offering to pay their portion of COBRA for up to 18 months so I'd only have to pay for my insurance that I pay now if I take COBRA (which I expect to do). Otherwise since I am 65 and my wife is on disability (severe Alzheimer's) so we both have Medicare part A I'd have to sign both of us up for part B, her for part D, then get either a supplemental plan or an advantage plan.

Didn't think I'd take the offer until I saw it. I was planning on retiring at 66 and 2 months (next March) for full SS but now I can go at the end of this year (2 months and a day early) and get 16 weeks of pay plus my unused PTO so I couldn't see a reason to not take it.
