I am eligible for retirement with the Age plus years of service rule, but they stopped funding the pension years before mine accrued much, so I'm not sure what early retirement even gets you anymore. Does it just mean I can walk away with my paltry pension in a lump sum? Or is there more to it? If all it means is that I get my pension, then I'm better off taking a layoff package should that come my way. It will still be awhile before I'm 65.
Thank-you for any and all info.
