Former state school employee Karen Judge, who retired in July 2018, saved $14,067 toward a pension over 4 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Judge would collect as much as $423,057, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Judge received $8,892 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Judge will have already received $18,051 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
