Over 30 years of retirement, Ericsen would collect as much as $594,123, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Ericsen received $12,488 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Ericsen will have already received $12,488 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
