Former state school employee Denise Dubin, who retired in June 2016, saved $99,323 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Dubin would collect as much as $1.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Dubin received $39,274 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dubin will have already received $121,392 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
