full retirement
Total work cessation
Full retirement is the state of having completely stopped working, typically at an age when one qualifies for maximum pension or Social Security benefits.
It contrasts with partial or phased retirement, where someone reduces hours or responsibilities gradually: She took full retirement at sixty-five rather than working part-time.
The phrase often implies eligibility for unreduced benefits under a specific retirement system.
