Over 30 years of retirement, Ivanova would collect as much as $1.97 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Ivanova received $41,309 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ivanova will have already received $127,681 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
