Former state school employee Paula Cory, who retired in May 2016, saved $95,466 toward a pension over 38 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Cory would collect as much as $2.31 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Quincy Reporter.

The projection assumes Cory received $48,474 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Cory will have already received $98,402 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
