Hello! Question for anyone that works at Google if I have hit my 3 applications per 90 days can I still apply to an additional role through a referral link? Or will I have to wait until the 90 days is up? Actually asking for a friend that doesn’t have this app 😊 thanks in advance for any insight.

Presuming you're talking about federal government, this has you covered regarding retirement requirements: https://www.opm.gov/retirement-center/fers-information/types-of-retirement/.
There is a pension, though it's substantially less appealing than it used to be. You pay 4.4% for the pension. https://www.opm.gov/retirement-center/fers-information/computation/.
Insurance benefits range from excellent to mediocre, but at rates pretty similar to private sector rates.
Job security and (typically) WLB are the main selling points of fed work.
It depends on agency.
Most law enforcement can retire as early as 20 years(often age dependent). Most civilian employees have to work 25-30 years at least. Many have now gone to a minimum age requirement of 60-65 whereas in the past it was as low as age 50.
Every area of government is different and based upon where you are in their plan. For example one state has two plans based upon where you started in their plans. One is rule of 62 which means when your years of service plus your age is 62 you are allowed to apply for retirement and a second plan of age of 67. One plan I am a participant in has the minimum of age 60 and a 10 year service. Another plan I participated in has age 65 before you can retire.
Do some internet research…under the typical FERS retirement 5 years of service gives your eligibility but $ benefits depend on total years of service and age of retirement.
Years of service can vary by agency. For example I believe some of the law enforcement agencies only require 20 years.
