Over 30 years of retirement, Chen would collect as much as $594,905, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Chen received $12,504 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Chen will have already received $38,648 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
