Over 30 years of retirement, Manuel would collect as much as $1.21 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Manuel received $25,378 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Manuel will have already received $106,171 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
