Over 30 years of retirement, Newberg would collect as much as $48,133, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Newberg received $1,011 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Newberg will have already received $3,124 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
