Over 30 years of retirement, Delacruz would collect as much as $1.85 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Delacruz received $38,789 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Delacruz will have already received $119,894 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
