Morphology
The meaning 'a regular payment made after leaving paid work' is directly derivable from 'retirement' (the period after leaving work) combined with 'benefit' (a social or employment payment). This noun+noun composition is cross-linguistically common and follows transparent compounding patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Retirement benefit comes from the simple idea that retirement means to leave work and benefit means a payment or help given to you. So, it means the regular payments someone gets after they 'stop working'.
