Benefits depend on the number of years of credited service and the employee's salary, not on age. gloss The actual pension-accrual holding is under section 623(i), not the catalogue’s ordinary subsection (a)(2) impact route. No generic age-disparity merits outcome is inferred. misfit The LAW catalogue expressly lacks a full pension-accrual model. Neither the existence of an age-neutral plan nor compliance with subsection (i) is relabeled a failure to identify a neutral practice or proof of no statistical disparity. ERISA claims are separate.
