Over 30 years of retirement, Jean would collect as much as $1.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Jean received $32,901 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Jean will have already received $101,694 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
