Former state school employee Kathleen Frazier, who retired in June 2017, saved $151,487 toward a pension over 17 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Frazier would collect as much as $2.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Frazier received $49,256 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Frazier will have already received $152,246 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
