Over 30 years of retirement, Szoke would collect as much as $1.62 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Szoke received $34,126 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Szoke will have already received $34,126 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
