Former state school employee Jody Geitz, who retired in June 2016, saved $123,231 toward a pension over 16 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Geitz would collect as much as $1.99 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Geitz received $41,906 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Geitz will have already received $129,527 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
