Doubtful Windfall for One Month Civil Service Employee
A House Civil Service Committee report flags a former government worker with only one month of service who could collect a $17 500 annual annuity from the Civil Service Retirement Fund after contributing $7 43. The man had bankruptcy liquidation duties in 1937 yielding potential $220 000 in six months and later a one month 1948 congressman staff stint. If the base is capped at 10 000 the case may require special legislation, otherwise a windfall is possible.
