  Takeaway from that link: around 50k/year in the USA, more or less depending on the region, and you have to go to another court (or similar) to get it, depending on the region. Additionally, in some regions you might get "tuition assistance", "medical expenses" (national healthcare for the rest of your life I think this might mean?), "job search assistance", and other things that you expect to get in a prosperous country without having to have been wrongfully convicted, and these benefits aren't even universal across the USA after a wrongful conviction. But the 50k×35=1.75 million USD should make for a nice retirement fund regardless of anything else.
