Former state school employee Charlene Cobb, who retired in July 2017, saved $193,948 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Cobb would collect as much as $4.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Cobb received $92,388 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Cobb will have already received $285,563 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
