I believe a Senator or Representative is entitled to a government pension if he serves as little as a single day.Actually to earn a pension our Congressional Representatives must serve at least five years. They may receive a pension at age 50 if they have served 20 years or they may receive a pension at any age if they have served 25 years. It is a myth that our Representatives do not participate in Social Security. They actually get both. They pay 6.2% of their current $174,000 salary into Social Security and 1.3% into the FERS (Federal Employee Retirement System). How much they get from FERS is a mystery to me.
