Former state school employee Carol Errico, who retired in May 2016, saved $106,887 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, Errico would collect as much as $1.64 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Errico received $34,464 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Errico will have already received $144,185 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
