Former state school employee Patricia Deigan, who retired in June 2018, saved $182,821 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, Deigan would collect as much as $4.64 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Deigan received $97,436 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Deigan will have already received $197,795 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
