Over 30 years of retirement, Dejesus would collect as much as $2.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Dejesus received $57,080 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Dejesus will have already received $238,801 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
