Accuracy Alert!

The claim that one reason to prevent Lauren Boebert from securing another term in Congress is her impending eligibility for a congressional pension of $139,000 annually beginning at age 62 lacks substantial evidence. Congressional pension requirements stipulate that members must serve at least five years to qualify for a pension. Lauren Boebert has been serving since January 2021, which means she would need to serve until at least January 2026 to meet the minimum service requirement for pension eligibility. Moreover, the figure of $139,000 annually appears exaggerated, as the actual pension is calculated based on years of service and salary history, and would likely be significantly lower. Thus, this claim is inaccurate.
