Over 30 years of retirement, Simon would collect as much as $77,129, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Simon received $1,621 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Simon will have already received $1,621 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
