Former state school employee Felicia Przekota, who retired in June 2016, saved $131,287 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Przekota would collect as much as $2.31 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Przekota received $48,622 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Przekota will have already received $150,286 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
