Former state school employee Susan MacIag, who retired in May 2017, saved $193,279 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, MacIag would collect as much as $3.96 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes MacIag received $83,203 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, MacIag will have already received $257,172 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
