Former state school employee Ava Evbuoma, who retired in June 2017, saved $250,556 toward a pension over 32 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Evbuoma would collect as much as $5.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Evbuoma received $110,253 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Evbuoma will have already received $340,782 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
