Over 30 years of retirement, Birg would collect as much as $153,419, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Birg received $3,224 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Birg will have already received $9,966 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
