When congressman resigns do they get full retirement as former congressman?

When a congressman resigns, their eligibility for retirement benefits depends on their years of service and age. Generally, members of Congress can receive retirement pay if they have served at least five years and are at least 62 years old, or if they meet specific age and service requirements. However, if they resign before meeting these criteria, they may not receive full retirement benefits. The retirement benefits are also based on a formula that considers their years of service and salary.
