In reply to the discussion: Lawyer With Strong Ties to GOP Turns Up Dead at Construction Site -(Alabama/Canary) [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)12. Apparently her retirement date had to do with collecting a pension.
"She's stepping down after 30 years with the DOJ, almost 2 and a half years after Barack Obama took office and after opposition and obstruction from Alabama's GOP Senators to any person the Obama administration suggested to replace her. Year after year, Canary stayed in office and racked up years of service toward her retirement as a government employee.
Having 30 years of creditable service is the difference between being able to draw the full retirement benefit starting at age 56 and having to wait until age 60, or start at age 56 but take a 30% reduction in the annuity."
