Former state school employee Rose Walls, who retired in December 2018, saved $133,747 toward a pension over 26 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Walls would collect as much as $2.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Walls received $57,816 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Walls will have already received $178,703 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
