Over 30 years of retirement, Stephens would collect as much as $640,960, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Stephens received $13,472 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Stephens will have already received $41,640 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
