Former state school employee Melanie Horowitz, who retired in July 2016, saved $255,785 toward a pension over 36 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Horowitz would collect as much as $6.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Horowitz received $135,912 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Horowitz will have already received $275,901 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
