FAQ
If you have at least five years of Credited Service your pension vests automatically, which means you can collect a Vested Retirement Benefit at age 63. If you have less than 10 years of Credited Service, you may request a refund of your contributions, plus 5% compounded interest.
For the full retirement benefit, you must be 62 years old at retirement or, if you have 30 years of credited service, you may retire as early as age 55. With less than 30 years of service, you may retire as early as age 55, but you will receive a reduced benefit.
In a nutshell, the New York State Secure Choice Savings Program is a state-mandated retirement savings plan for New York employees. Employee contributions are made using automatic payroll deductions, with all funds placed in a Roth individual retirement account, or Roth IRA.
The earnings limit for people reaching their “full” retirement age in 2025 will increase to $62,160. (We deduct $1 from benefits for each $3 earned over $62,160 until the month the worker turns “full” retirement age.) There is no limit on earnings for workers who are "full" retirement age or older for the entire year.
If you retire with less than 20 years of service credit, your benefit will equal 1.66 percent of your Final Average Salary (FAS) for each year of service. With 20 to 30 years of service credit, your benefit will equal 2 percent of your FAS, multiplied by your years of credited service.
Private employers are not required by law to offer retirement plans. Although Social Security benefits are somewhat uncertain for future generations, if you have worked for many years and are currently about to retire, you probably can count on receiving these benefits as well.
Indeed, here are three ways you can lose at least part of your Social Security benefit. No. 1: Keep working while taking benefits early. No. 2: Be a substantially lower-earning spouse. No. 3: Be alive in 2034. Social Security still provides an important foundation for retirement.
To receive the full retirement benefit, you must retire at age 62 or older or, if you have at least 30 years of credited service, you may retire as early as age 55. With less than 30 years of credited service, you may retire between the ages 55 and 62 and receive a reduced benefit.
You can start receiving your Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62. However, you are entitled to full benefits only when you reach your full retirement age. If you delay taking your benefits from your full retirement age up to age 70, your benefit amount will increase.
To be eligible for most types of benefits (such as benefits based on blindness or retirement), you must have earned an average of one work credit for each calendar year between age 21 and the year in which you reach age 62 or be a person with a disability or blindness, up to a maximum of 40 credits.
