Over 30 years of retirement, Benson would collect as much as $259,955, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Benson received $5,464 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Benson will have already received $16,889 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
