Over 30 years of retirement, Claus would collect as much as $2.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Claus received $51,959 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Claus will have already received $160,601 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
