Former state school employee Ruth Babcock, who retired in May 2017, saved $117,377 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Babcock would collect as much as $2.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Babcock received $47,434 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Babcock will have already received $146,614 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
