Former state school employee Janis Morgan, who retired in July 2016, saved $230,739 toward a pension over 28 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Morgan would collect as much as $5.88 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Morgan received $123,555 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Morgan will have already received $250,817 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
