Former state school employee Patsy Jones, who retired in June 2016, saved $109,447 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Jones would collect as much as $2.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Jones received $59,611 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Jones will have already received $121,010 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
