Over 30 years of retirement, Bahamon would collect as much as $84,493, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Bahamon received $1,776 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Bahamon will have already received $9,429 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
