Former state school employee Kevin Anderson, who retired in July 2017, saved $201,175 toward a pension over 12 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Anderson would collect as much as $2.82 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Anderson received $59,355 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Anderson will have already received $248,320 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
