Over 30 years of retirement, Benson would collect as much as $589,191, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Benson received $12,384 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Benson will have already received $25,140 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
