Former state school employee Anita Bevill, who retired in June 2017, saved $156,583 toward a pension over 33 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bevill would collect as much as $3.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Bevill received $75,022 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Bevill will have already received $231,886 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
