Former EMT firefighter Flores paid in $182K to pension fund, could collect $3.75M in retirement

Money 01

Former EMT firefighter Carmelo Flores, who retired in November 2018, saved $181,647 toward a pension over 29 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Flores would collect as much as $3.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Flores received $78,878 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Flores will have already received $243,803 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
