Global careers....
My husband is just turning 62 and retiring. We've worked in the UK (back in the late 70s!), in the France (80-86) and since in the US. My husband is retiring end of April, and we're in the process of moving permanently to France. (We've been here several months/year for the last 5 years.)
A couple of years ago, we had our 'dossiers de carrière" done at our local CRAMCO. They contacted the US, and got all that info; they got no response from the UK (typique, quoi!). They were going to go ahead to get him his pension at that point, but he decided to keep working for another two years. So he's putting in his "demande de retrait" at the end of this month.
So yes, go and see the folk in question. In person, if you can. The lady we've been talking to said they've a fair number of folk who've had global careers, and she seemed pretty used to it. And they'll be able to tell you if you can go ahead at 60, or need to wait until 62.
Hope this helps!
Cheers...
