Yes, if the judge is entitled to full retirement benefits as determined by a combination of age at retirement and years employed in the federal court system. A judge may retire with full benefits as early as age 65 if he or she has served at least 15 years on the bench; a judge may retire with full benefits at 70 if he or she has served at least 10 years on the bench.

The formula is age + years of service = 80 or more.

Judges who resign prior to becoming fully vested don't receive full retirement benefits.
