Over 30 years of retirement, Africh would collect as much as $147,424, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Africh received $3,098 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Africh will have already received $9,576 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
