retiree
No longer employed
A retiree is someone who has retired from work, typically after reaching a certain age or years of service.
The word emphasizes the person's current status rather than their former occupation: The community center offers programs for retirees.
Retirees may receive pensions, Social Security, or other retirement benefits.
