I;m 54 and applied for my pension from my UNION,, I can take a early retirement at 55,, BUT,, the thing is,, your pension is cut 3% a year from 55 up to 65,,, a 30% cut in benefits,, but not being able to work and getting a pension is a whole sight better then getting nothing at all,, and I dont think your pension income affects your disibility payment from SS

In Florida most jobs are not Union. Early retirement is 62. So you would start out getting 30% off then the next year 3% more? Your right it's better than nothing and between the two benefits you should at least be able to pay your bills and mortgage.

But Granny is not on WC, so that part does not apply to her. That's why I direct copied the relevant infomation for her in my reply.

Most likely, not

If he retires now it will be at 30% off of the amount it would have been if he worked to age 65. It doesn't go up each year after that (unless his union does COLA raises)

The 3% each year refers to how much it went down for each year early he takes retirement (3% x 10 years=30%)

I think you should not correct me when I am right. Wdwgranny's question is about a pension, not WC

Summaried as......"Disability payments from private sources, such as private pension or insurance benefits, do not affect your Social Security disability benefits."
This was your link not mine. The first sentence has to do with private sources and pensions, but the rest is about WC. You were agreeing with plgerrard.
