Many of us have received chain emails regarding Congressional pay and benefits. One of our CORTLI members asked Barbara Easterling, President of the ARA if the information in the emails is true. The link below to Politifact will give you the correct information. Please click on it.
So the email saying that members of Congress can "receive full pay retirement after serving one term" is blatantly bogus. It's never full pay and the only one-term members who would be eligible for any pension would be senators.
