Over 30 years of retirement, Diepholz would collect as much as $391,897, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Diepholz received $8,237 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Diepholz will have already received $16,721 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
