Former state school employee Renee Elliott, who retired in May 2016, saved $90,037 toward a pension over 22 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Elliott would collect as much as $1.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Elliott received $32,970 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Elliott will have already received $101,907 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
