Wasn't sure where to put this question just wondering. My employer has a minimum age to be able to leave with reduced pension. Years of service do not matter. You can of course disregard this but you not getting any retiree benefits if you do!
With 55 being the minimum age to retire at so many places, it makes you think that government regulations are stipulating the age.
Even though our megacorp had some 30 year employees that were not 55, they couldn't start drawing a pension until age 55. And even then, they were thrown into the life expectance table and got reduced benefits due to their age. But there again, no employee in our company ever worked until 65 years of age.

Rule of 85 at my place. You had to be 55 with at least 30 years of service (55+30=85) to get a full pension. I left at 56, worked one extra month just to make sure but took vacation for that last month!

CSRS, Civil Service Retirement System, was age 55/30 years to get 55% of your high-3 salary (staying longer = higher percentage up to 65/80). There were situations where you could retire earlier (certain occupations, agency being RIFd, etc.) Also, I seem to recall there was a 50/20 option, although I don't recall how it worked.
CSRS has been gone so long that there is nobody left to "early-retire"
