Over 30 years of retirement, Kahle would collect as much as $22,990, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Kahle received $483 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kahle will have already received $980 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
