Money 02

Former state school employee Allan Hagin, who retired in May 2017, saved $70,068 toward a pension over 16 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hagin would collect as much as $1.05 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Hagin received $22,052 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Hagin will have already received $92,258 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
