Social Security retirement which is a kettle of fish of a different color. Much will depend on when you worked for the IRS. If before 1987, you were in the CSRS system. Since you withdrew your contributions I'm guessing this is the case. There is, under some circumstances, a provision to re-deposit your contributions and get a federal pension. I don't know if you would qualify or not. But, if you were to draw a fed non covered pension, you might very well lower your Social Security benefits. Look up the rules for the CSRS pension system about redeposits.
