Money 03

Former state school employee Sandra Walters, who retired in June 2018, saved $55,005 toward a pension over 8 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Walters would collect as much as $752,612, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Walters received $15,819 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Walters will have already received $66,182 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
