Over 30 years of retirement, Deguzman would collect as much as $2.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Deguzman received $47,879 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Deguzman will have already received $147,988 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
