FERS Immediate Retirement is the most common type of retirement under the Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS). You are eligible for an immediate voluntary FERS Retirement if you have the right combination of age and years of creditable service. There are three combinations of age and service.

Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) is a financial movement defined by frugality and extreme savings and investment.

A worker can choose to retire as early as age 62, but doing so may result in a reduction of as much as 30 percent. Starting to receive benefits after normal retirement age may result in larger benefits. With delayed retirement credits, a person can receive his or her largest benefit by retiring at age 70.

Use form SF 3107, FERS Application for Immediate Retirement, to apply for immediate retirement. You can obtain the form from your employing agency. Submit the completed application to your employing agency. Give your agency at least 60 days notice before the date you intend to retire.

Pros of retiring early include health benefits, opportunities to travel, or starting a new career or business venture. Cons of retiring early include the strain on savings, due to increased expenses and smaller Social Security benefits, and a depressing effect on mental health.

SF 2806s/ SF 3100s are sent to OPM when an employee separates from an agency or changes payroll offices. SF 2806/ SF 3100 for the retiring employee's final period of service is submitted with the retirement package.
