Over 30 years of retirement, Benitez would collect as much as $623,662, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Benitez received $13,108 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Benitez will have already received $26,609 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
