Early Retirement?
I work for the N.H.S. The trust I work for are promoting early retirement. I am considering accepting it. I have another five years for the normal retirement age of 60. What I need to know is.. The lump sum and the pension I could get are quite a bit less that the amount I earn. Due to taking retirement early.There are a number of reasons for me to take early retirement. I wont go into those. But would there be any help that I might get fron the government or would I just be considered as voluntarily unemployed???

- I think that you are going to be pretty much on your own, until Social Security kicks in. Good Luck!
- No help from the Government unless you are handicapped or your income would be less than $1100/mo. (You would qualify for SSI). You would probably have to get a part time job to subsidize your income.
- Many people taking early retirement retire to other work. There's the money end of things, but there are other reasons to consider working as well. The links below may be helpful as you consider your options.
