A government pension is a fund into which a sum of money is added during the period in which a person is employed by the government. When the government employee retires they are able to receive periodic payments from the fund in order to support themselves. As the birth rate continues to fall and the life expectancy rises governments worldwide are predicting funding shortfalls for pensioners. In the U.S. federal, state and local governments are eligible to receive pensions.

Yes, but only for pensioners at or below a certain income threshold and not for politicians or executives. Adjust them yearly for inflation.

pension should be determined by how much money you decide to put into it while you are in the workforce
