Social media users have asserted that the 39-year-old is eligible to receive £52,000 annually for the remainder of his life, with payments starting right away.
Although there once was such a pension plan, it was eliminated in 2009.
What then will he get, and when?
Upon reaching the current 65-year-old Scottish Parliamentary Pension Scheme retirement age, Mr. Yousaf will be eligible to receive up to around £2,600 annually for his tenure as first minister.
In addition, the former leader of the SNP is qualified for further retirement benefits from his employment as a Holyrood minister and MSP.
Upon leaving their position as first minister or presiding officer, any individual holding such an office will be eligible for a pension.
