Over 30 years of retirement, Sward would collect as much as $86,754, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Sward received $1,823 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Sward will have already received $9,679 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
