Over 30 years of retirement, Hendon would collect as much as $517,822, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Hendon received $10,884 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Hendon will have already received $10,884 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
