Former state school employee Judith Fletcher, who retired in January 2017, saved $1,995 toward a pension over 5 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Fletcher would collect as much as $308,048, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Fletcher received $6,474 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Fletcher will have already received $6,474 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
