Does anyone recall when the pension started paying the big money? I know my father got out in 1990 age 57 with 30 years and got $1000 a month. Be interesting to see the funding levels for all the years and see what effect the increase had on the fund.
I think some of it started in the late 90's early 2000's, some of the funds were overfunded and the IRS couldn't stand seeing the money sitting there untaxed so they gave the overfunded funds 2 options, pay more out or stop taking contributions. Once again, you can thank your government.
