Former state school employee Felicia Frazier, who retired in June 2016, saved $15,388 toward a pension over 3 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Frazier would collect as much as $273,360, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Frazier received $5,745 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Frazier will have already received $17,757 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
