Former state school employee Kathleen Breen, who retired in November 2016, saved $81,031 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, Breen would collect as much as $1.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Breen received $25,667 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Breen will have already received $107,381 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
