Over 30 years of retirement, Cumpston would collect as much as $1.65 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Cumpston received $34,636 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cumpston will have already received $107,056 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
