Former state school employee Beth Harnack, who retired in December 2017, saved $49,964 toward a pension over 14 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Harnack would collect as much as $922,354, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Harnack received $19,387 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Harnack will have already received $59,924 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
