Q. If I retire at 59 years and five months with 28+ years of service, under a reduction in force, would I qualify for the special retirement supplement and only be penalized until I reach 60?
A. You would be retiring under the MRA+10 provision. As a result, your annuity would be reduced by 5/12 percent for every month that you were under age 60. In addition, you wouldn’t be eligible for the special retirement supplement. No one who retires under the MRA+10 provision is.
