Over 30 years of retirement, Rita would collect as much as $5,709, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Rita received $120 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Rita will have already received $504 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
