old-age pension

Retiree's monthly check

An old-age pension is a regular payment made to people who have reached retirement age, typically funded by government programs or former employers.

The term emphasizes that eligibility depends on age rather than disability or other circumstances: She lives on her old-age pension.

In many countries, such pensions form the foundation of retirement income.
