Over 30 years of retirement, Rice would collect as much as $42,246, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Rice received $888 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Rice will have already received $1,803 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
