Over 30 years of retirement, Michalik would collect as much as $840,377, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Michalik received $17,664 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Michalik will have already received $17,664 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
