Over 30 years of retirement, Martha would collect as much as $55,406, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Martha received $1,164 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Martha will have already received $3,598 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
