Over 30 years of retirement, Coffman would collect as much as $3.85 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Coffman received $81,024 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Coffman will have already received $250,438 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
