This depends on whether you are on the old pension plan, 1st or 2nd choicers could retire with 30 years and get their FHA when they turned 55. Now with Cash-balance folks, born after June 1959, they need to be 55 and 15 years service to claim their FHA money. I believe if they are 54 and 14 years service, they might be able to get a bridge to FHA eligibility, but maybe not since with 30 years they are retirement eligible already. This is why it is called the Future Hell Account.
