Former state school employee Irene Camp, who retired in June 2016, saved $180,177 toward a pension over 34 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Camp would collect as much as $4.2 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Camp received $88,289 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Camp will have already received $272,893 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
