Over 30 years of retirement, Gilbert would collect as much as $295,209, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Gilbert received $6,205 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gilbert will have already received $12,596 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
