Former state school employee Nancy Gore, who retired in May 2016, saved $166,396 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, Gore would collect as much as $3.94 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Gore received $82,800 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Gore will have already received $168,084 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
