[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Still, 83 is higher than 80. And the same SSA website you’re quoting says (2017 Annual Statistical Supplement) that just 122k of 2.9M new claimants in 2016 were 70 or over. I don’t disagree with the lump sum idea. I just don’t think it’s as cheap as you make it out to be. And that may make it harder for divorce(e)s to buy out the ex-spouse.[/quote] On your first point, SSA shows the life expectancy of a 40 year old as 78.54 years (we were talking about an OP who is 40 and will not be seeing a FERS check for 25-30 years). If her ex makes it to 65 and retires, he has a longer life expectancy. But he might not make it to retirement. On the second point, we are talking about federal workers and not the general US civilian workforce. Many do work well past normal retirement, especially if they have had a portion of their retirement stolen from them. [/quote]
