Former state school employee Kevan Truman, who retired in June 2018, saved $177,619 toward a pension over 32 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Truman would collect as much as $3.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Truman received $81,278 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Truman will have already received $251,221 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
