Congress Surplus Grows in Pension System for Lawmakers
In seven years of operation the Congressional pension plan has seen 20 million dollars contributed by members while only 1 million has been paid out in retirement checks. Senator Monroney notes reluctance to retire and cites older figures such as Theodore Green, a long-serving Democrat from Rhode Island, as examples of continued service and pension funding. Members contribute 6 percent of salaries of 12,500 dollars annually, with pre-1946 service credited if comparable to civil service rules.
