Former state school employee Debra Nevell, who retired in May 2018, saved $77,431 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Nevell would collect as much as $1.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Nevell received $30,797 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Nevell will have already received $95,191 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
