Former state school employee Dirk Serfis, who retired in June 2016, saved $144,272 toward a pension over 21 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Serfis would collect as much as $1.78 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Serfis received $37,359 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Serfis will have already received $156,296 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
