Former state school employee Lynn Bocinsky, who retired in June 2018, saved $98,647 toward a pension over 16 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bocinsky would collect as much as $1.63 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Bocinsky received $34,186 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Bocinsky will have already received $105,666 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
