Former state school employee Pamela Stallings, who retired in June 2017, saved $124,195 toward a pension over 22 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Stallings would collect as much as $2.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Stallings received $44,158 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Stallings will have already received $136,488 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
