When I turned 60, I was sent a letter informing me that I was to be retired on my birthday of that year.  I was given an option to be “re-hired”. I signed the option and that went through without any real problems. The next contract, I thought, “Why not apply for the unlimited term contract? What’s the worst that could happen?” I was pleasantly surprised when it was granted. My next issue will be being able to work full time until 70.
