Money 07

Former state school employee Judy Hoffer, who retired in June 2018, saved $116,864 toward a pension over 25 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hoffer would collect as much as $2.08 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Hoffer received $43,762 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Hoffer will have already received $135,264 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
