“I understand. I am trying to figure out who is eligible. So I think I heard the Senator from Maryland say they are eligible if they are receiving retirement checks. They may be receiving the checks from the steel company, which even though the company went bankrupt, it may well still be making payments for pension benefits, or maybe it dumped their liabilities on the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, or there may be some other consortium employer payment plan. But if they are receiving their retirement check, they are classified as retiree. What is the earliest age a person can be receiving a retirement check as a steel worker?”
