Former state school employee Jean Sedory, who retired in May 2018, saved $132,855 toward a pension over 18 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Sedory would collect as much as $2.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Sedory received $49,891 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Sedory will have already received $154,209 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
