Former state school employee Jean Murray, who retired in May 2016, saved $58,021 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Murray would collect as much as $1.14 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Quincy Reporter.

The projection assumes Murray received $23,899 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Murray will have already received $73,869 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
