Add Comment Question: I was disabled in 2006 and was receiving disability benefits from my employer. I will turn 65 on August 9th. I just got a letter from them that they will prepare a retirement package for me comprised of a Defined Contribution (company pension) and Defined Contribution which I contributed to 50-50 with them. Can they 'retire' me at age 65 without a severance package? Thank you. ( Is this a termination at age 65?) Answer: Your employer cannot force you to retire - a forced retirement is a termination. Therefore, you are likely entitled to a severance package. Please contact our firm to discuss this matter further and determine how we can assist you.
