Over 30 years of retirement, Rickman would collect as much as $863,710, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Rickman received $18,154 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Rickman will have already received $56,113 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
