Over 30 years of retirement, Allen would collect as much as $928,862, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Allen received $19,524 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Allen will have already received $60,347 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
