Is it true that every member of the United States House of Representatives continues to receive his or her full salary every year for life after either retiring or loosing re-election?

No, that is not true. Members of Congress receive retirement and health benefits under the same plans available to other federal employees. They become vested after five years of full participation. As it is for all other federal employees, congressional retirement is funded through taxes and the participants' contributions. Members of Congress under FERS ( Federal Employees Retirement System) contribute 1.3 percent of their salary into the FERS retirement plan and pay 6.2 percent of their salary in Social Security taxes. Members of Congress are not eligible for a pension until they reach the age of 50, but only if they've completed 20 years of service. Members are eligible at any age after completing 25 years of service or after they reach the age of 62. Members of Congress have to serve at least 5 years to even receive a pension. The amount of a congressperson's pension depends on the years of service and the average of the highest 3 years of his or her salary. By law, the starting amount of a Member's retirement annuity may not exceed 80% of his or her final salary.


When is full retirement age when born in 1962?

Your full retirement age is 67. You can start collecting benefits at age 62, but you will receive only 70% of your full retirement amount. The longer you wait, the more you will receive. This holds true even if you wait until after you are 67; you will receive more than 100% of your full retirement age benefit..
