Over 30 years of retirement, Jeffers would collect as much as $1.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes SW Illinois News.
The projection assumes Jeffers received $37,910 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Jeffers will have already received $117,175 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
