Over 30 years of retirement, Vanvooren would collect as much as $38,930, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Vanvooren received $818 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Vanvooren will have already received $818 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
