Former state school employee Lorraine Weber, who retired in June 2017, saved $106,636 toward a pension over 23 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Weber would collect as much as $1.94 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Weber received $40,851 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Weber will have already received $126,267 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
