View answerThe Public Service Superannuation (Age of Retirement) Act 2018 was signed by the President on 26 December 2018 and came into effect immediately from that date.
The Act provides for an increase in the compulsory retirement age of most pre-2004 public servants from age 65 to age 70. Under the Act, any relevant public servant who had not already reached his/her compulsory retirement age before 26 December 2018 has a new compulsory retirement age of 70 and can choose to stay at work up to that age on current terms and conditions, subject to the normal standards of health and performance etc.
