Over 30 years of retirement, Krashen would collect as much as $48,898, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Krashen received $1,027 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Krashen will have already received $5,455 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
