Over 30 years of retirement, Eichelberger would collect as much as $743,010, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Eichelberger received $15,617 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Eichelberger will have already received $48,272 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
