Over 30 years of retirement, France would collect as much as $1.79 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes France received $37,623 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, France will have already received $116,290 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
