Former state school employee Viola Wiley, who retired in June 2018, saved $70,157 toward a pension over 11 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Wiley would collect as much as $1.08 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Wiley received $22,641 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Wiley will have already received $94,722 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
