Over 30 years of retirement, Almazan would collect as much as $107,878, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Almazan received $2,267 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Almazan will have already received $12,035 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
