Over 30 years of retirement, Litchfield would collect as much as $6.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Litchfield received $131,464 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Litchfield will have already received $266,872 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
