Former state school employee Patricia Chapman, who retired in June 2017, saved $148,216 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Chapman would collect as much as $3.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Chapman received $70,872 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Chapman will have already received $219,058 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
