Over 30 years of retirement, Lin would collect as much as $209,048, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Lin received $4,394 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Lin will have already received $18,384 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
