The Minnesota Public Employees Retirement Association said Friday that Derek Chauvin, the former police officer charged in George Floyd’s death, could still be eligible for $1.5 million in pension benefits even if he is convicted.
Unlike a number of states, Minnesota allows public employees convicted of felony crimes related to their work to receive pension benefits partially funded by taxpayers, according to CNN. Chauvin, 44, would still be able to file for pension benefits starting at age 50, even if he is convicted in Floyd’s death.
