Over 30 years of retirement, Serrato would collect as much as $800,511, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Serrato received $16,826 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Serrato will have already received $70,395 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
