Over 30 years of retirement, Jerden would collect as much as $2.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Jerden received $46,018 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Jerden will have already received $142,238 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
