Questions about part-time to full-time retirement

[Ilovetoast]

Hello! I have a question that I can't seem to get a straight answer.

I understand you have to hit the golden 80 to retire.

I am a part-time employee with 14 years with the company I started when I was 18 years old. it looks like I will be able to retire at 49

If I become combo or full-time Will my 14 years of service with the company be cut in half?

So I would have to retire later?

thank you for all your help!

my plan is to retire ASAP and Move to The Philippines

Each plan is different but, in general, you receive 1/2 year of FT credit for each of your PT years.

Looks like the Phillippines may have to wait a bit longer.
