Former state school employee Janet Fults, who retired in June 2017, saved $102,015 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Fults would collect as much as $2.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Fults received $42,310 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Fults will have already received $130,775 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
