FERS is an annuity that gets paid to government retirees with minimum years of service and at minimum retirement ages. I believe it gets paid unless the retiree commits an offense under 5 U.S. Code § 8312 (basically treason). That said, I'm a lawyer, but this isn't my area.
So minimum isn't required retirement age, right? He'll get much of his FERS, not all?

So long as you meet minimum years of service (in his case 20), he can defer payment of the annuity until he hits the retirement age target eg, 62, 65, or 67. Like SS, you get more per month the longer you defer past 62.

Also, you pay into FERS (and SS and TSP) while you are working via payroll deductions, so the longer you work, the better the benefit at retirement.
