What retirement benefit are you referring to?   There is no federal "retirement benefit."   If you are 65 or older, you get a higher standard deduction which makes a bit more of your income tax free.

The standard deduction makes some of your income “tax free.”  It is not a refund.  You will see your standard or itemized deduction amount on line 12 of your 2024 Form 1040.

2024 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS
