Former state school employee Deborah Crowley, who retired in June 2017, saved $155,787 toward a pension over 26 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Crowley would collect as much as $3.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Crowley received $72,860 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Crowley will have already received $225,203 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
