Weiner Could Still Collect Up to $1.28 Million in Pension Benefits

Here's a quick did you know. Did you know that even despite resigning yesterday, former Rep. Anthony Weiner could still collect up to $1.28 million in pension benefits?

Roll Call reports on the numbers:

According to an analysis of his available benefits by the National Taxpayers Union, the New York Democrat’s pension and a savings plan lawmakers have access to similar to a 401(k) could be worth $1.12 million to $1.28 million.

At 46, Weiner will not be eligible for his pension for another decade, at which point he could begin drawing a reduced rate of $32,357 a year, according to NTU. If he waits until age 62 to begin drawing his pension, he will receive his full benefits, or $46,224, according to NTU’s calculations.

Additionally, if Weiner aggressively invested in the Thrift Savings Plan, his balance would be roughly $216,000, the organization said.

It seems even though he's gone, Weiner will continue to haunt the American people for years to come.
