Over 30 years of retirement, Zelmar would collect as much as $142,280, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Zelmar received $2,990 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Zelmar will have already received $9,242 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
