Over 30 years of retirement, Luz would collect as much as $410,589, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Luz received $8,630 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Luz will have already received $26,675 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
