\u201cI currently have 11 years of service in a 6c covered law enforcement position. I am considering taking a job which is not a 6c position. I realize that if I did so, I would not be eligible for 20 year retirement. Would I be eligible to retire before 30 years considering I have 11 years of enhanced 6c coverage? Or would a move out of 6c prior to 20 years make it as if those 11 years did not occur at the enhanced rate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you moved into a non-law enforcement position before having twenty years of service, you\u2019d no longer be able to retire at age 50 with 20 years of service. Instead you\u2019d be eligible to retire under the standard rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 age 62 with 5 years of service<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 age 60 with 20 years of service<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 at your minimum retirement age with 30 years of service<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MRAs range from 55 to 57, depending on your year of birth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019d also be able to retire under the MRA+10 provision; however, your annuity would be reduced by 5 percent for every year (5\/12th of 1 percent per month) that you were under age 62.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
