Does "within the age range" for early retirement include ages 55 and 65?
The intent of the legislation was to provide an incentive to employees to retire before the normal retirement age under chapter 97B.45 and beginning with the age of 55. The oldest normal retirement age in chapter 97B.45 is the first of the month in which the employee turns age 65. Also, the Code language in section 279.46 states age 55 to 65 rather than through 65. So age 55 would be included but age 65 would not.
