Preferred term

early retirement  

Definition

  • There is no strict legal definition of early retirement, as a mandatory retirement age is illegal for most occupations in the United States. Individuals can begin receiving Social Security benefits from 65 to 67 years of age, depending on year of birth. [Source: Encyclopedia of Career Development; Early Retirement]
