For someone in FERS who volunteers to retire earlier than 62, my understanding is that they will receive the Social Security supplement benefit. Ok.
My question is how will the Social Security benefit at age 62 be calculated. Looking at the Social Security benefit estimator 4 pager we get it assumes you continue to work to age 62. If you voluntarily leave federal gov't at age 56, does SS recalculate your benefit based on now 6 yrs (age 56 to 62) of no income?
I read that SS benefits are based on 35 years of employment, so now I will show that 6 of those years as being $0 and therefore my monthly benefit will drop. Cause if that's the case, both the SS benefit at age 62 goes down as well as the SS Supplement at age 56.
If anyone could shed some light on this, be appreciated.
Thank you.
