Studds paid in 1.8 percent, the other 99.2 percent comes from the General Fund. As a single man, he probably chose an individual plan. He could have purchased an insurable interest annuity for a close relative or for a partner, but it's apparent that he didn't do that. Studds’ pension largely comes from the General Fund.
