Over 30 years of retirement, Sossin would collect as much as $874,968, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Sossin received $18,391 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sossin will have already received $56,845 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
