Over 30 years of retirement, Montalvo would collect as much as $947,045, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Montalvo received $19,906 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Montalvo will have already received $61,527 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
