[Magdalen] Cruel... boggles the mind

[Kate Conant]

"As a law enforcement officer covered by the Federal Employees Retirement
System, known as FERS, McCabe is set to receive an annual pension payout
calculated at a special "enhanced" rate and available at the early age of
50.
"He put his life on the line," said Kimberly Berry, a federal employment
lawyer in Virginia. "The enhanced coverage is enhanced, because by its
nature, it's more rigorous: the career he had."
Considering McCabe's number of years at the agency and estimations of his
high-level pay grade, formulas published by the US Office of Personnel
Management for law enforcement officers show that his yearly payout could
hit in the area of $60,000 each year, if McCabe were to retire after his
birthday on Sunday.
If he were to be fired before Sunday, it appears likely McCabe could be
docked his pension until he hits another, later age milestone.
