US Retirement Eligibility Rules : To meet U.S. retirement eligibility requirements, you must meet one of the following definitions:
- Age 65—Be at least 65 years old with no minimum years of service requirement (normal retirement age)
- 55 & 15—Be at least 55 years old and complete at least 15 years of eligible service
- Rule of 75—Satisfy the requirements of the Rule of 75, which means the combined total of your age plus your length of service (both calculated in completed, whole years) is equal to or greater than the number 75
If you retired from a country other than the US, please contact your local HR office at Intel for information regarding Intel Retirement programs. Retirement definitions vary on a country by country basis due to local laws and practices.
