Former state school employee Denise Peck, who retired in September 2017, saved $73,601 toward a pension over 12 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Peck would collect as much as $888,065, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Peck received $18,666 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Peck will have already received $78,092 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
