Over 30 years of retirement, Xiao would collect as much as $2.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Xiao received $47,518 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Xiao will have already received $96,462 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
