Former state school employee Rhonda Holycross, who retired in June 2017, saved $6,934 toward a pension over 7 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Holycross would collect as much as $417,725, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Holycross received $8,780 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Holycross will have already received $8,780 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
