Over 30 years of retirement, Jones would collect as much as $134,676, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Jones received $2,830 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Jones will have already received $2,830 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
