Over 30 years of retirement, Bernhardy would collect as much as $291,932, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Bernhardy received $6,136 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bernhardy will have already received $18,966 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
