late retirement
Working past sixty-five
Late retirement is retiring from work at an age beyond the standard or expected retirement age.
Someone might choose late retirement for financial reasons, continued fulfillment from work, or to maximize pension benefits: He opted for late retirement at seventy to boost his Social Security payments.
The term often appears in contrast to early retirement in discussions of pension plans and employment policy.
