pensioned

Getting retirement income

Pensioned describes someone who has been granted a pension—regular payments after retirement from work or service.

A pensioned employee or pensioned soldier receives ongoing income from a former employer or government.

To be pensioned off is to be retired, sometimes with the implication of being pushed aside: They pensioned him off after thirty years.
