Former state school employee Timothy Falconer, who retired in June 2018, saved $294,422 toward a pension over 40 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Falconer would collect as much as $6.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Falconer received $128,331 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Falconer will have already received $396,658 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
