Over 30 years of retirement, Gatlin would collect as much as $613,254, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Gatlin received $12,890 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gatlin will have already received $26,167 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
