1. I think that is not correct.

Members of Congress become eligible for pensions at age 62, on completing five years of service. They are also eligible at age 50 after completing 20 years of service, or any age after 25 years, according to information posted by the U.S. Senate. The amount depends on years of service, and an average of the member's three highest-earning years. By law, pensions cannot exceed 80 percent of the member's final salary.

Members of Congress are not eligible for a pension until they reach the age of 50, but only if they've completed 20 years of service. Members are eligible at any age after completing 25 years of service or after they reach the age of 62. Please also note that Members of Congress have to serve at least 5 years to even receive a pension.
