Money 03

Former state school employee Lorene Koprivica, who retired in May 2017, saved $100,199 toward a pension over 26 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Koprivica would collect as much as $1.97 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Koprivica received $41,472 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Koprivica will have already received $128,185 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
