Over 30 years of retirement, Chandler would collect as much as $1.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Chandler received $32,580 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Chandler will have already received $100,701 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
