"Corpus retired "under duress" so she could retain health benefits for herself and her children, according to ABC7 News reporter Danny Noyes. He posted on X, saying she texted him: "I will be okay! They don't deserve me." Supervisor David Canepa confirmed the validity of Corpus' retirement, explaining to KTVU-TV that under county protocol, Corpus will receive her pension, which reportedly includes 90% of her paycheck and benefits upon retirement."
""No, we're not going to fight her on it," he told the outlet. "But this is something that's kind of new to me. I'll be quite frank with you. I was not aware. I thought that once we had taken action that was it. That being said, I ended up finding out earlier in the day that she is allowed to retire. We don't want to be discriminatory to the sheriff. And so, she's entitled to her retirement pay and benefits.""
Christina Corpus retired with full pension and benefits hours after the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to remove her following multiple investigations. She said she retired "under duress" to retain health benefits for herself and her children. Supervisor David Canepa confirmed county protocol allows retirement and that Corpus will receive her pension, reportedly including 90% of her paycheck and benefits. Corpus served San Mateo County for 30 years and was removed under Measure A, a charter amendment passed in March that authorizes supervisors to oust an elected sheriff for cause. The removal followed a 10-day evidentiary hearing overseen by retired Judge James Emerson after Corpus appealed the board's June 24 decision.
