Over 30 years of retirement, Ruiz would collect as much as $818,510, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Ruiz received $17,204 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Ruiz will have already received $71,976 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
