Former state school employee Leonard Martz, who retired in December 2016, saved $28,817 toward a pension over 11 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Martz would collect as much as $577,327, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Martz received $12,135 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Martz will have already received $37,508 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
