Early retirement is your choice- but you are doing so under duress. You cannot consent to anything when you are coerced, by definition. So say you are taking early retirement under duress. That you feel you have no choice, because this decision is made by extortion. Do what they command, or else. How can it be voluntary; when your threat is to take VERA, or be fired with nothing?
Not sure of his agency. He should be fully vested at 3 years and be eligible for retirement benefits after 10 years. There is a formula for early retirement based on service and date of birth
DOD engineer assigned to NASA for propulsion support on SLS. Got the advice from some based supervisors. Don’t lose what you earned. Take early retirement and state that you are choosing this under duress over being fired for refusing the Vax

I got my 10 yrs in last week. You can retire with Medical for life with 10. Your pension will essentially pay your medical premiums I am 60 and will likely take a job as a contractor and take the early retirement under duress.
Also, I stated that in my Religious exemption; should I be denied I would chose early retirement over termination “under duress”.
Am GS13 step 7. Was supervisor over engineers; NASA had me join the Sr Eng team. Already have offer for GS14 pay; just have to work the waiver and I am leaving. I am 60 yrs old as a point of reference
If you are Federal Employee; and you are fired, you lose not only your pension, but all earned medical benefits as well. You are “Fired for Cause”.
However, if you chose “Early Retirement under duress”; you keep the benefits you earned, and then can sue for civil rights violations.
Always fight from a position of strength
But you actually have to qualify for retirement, which means you have to be like 60 years old. If you're under that, you're SOL.
