Money 05

Former state school employee Claudia Furman, who retired in June 2017, saved $210,781 toward a pension over 41 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Furman would collect as much as $5.29 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Furman received $111,160 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Furman will have already received $225,655 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
