Money 05

Former state school employee Ken Rehr, who retired in June 2017, saved $209,543 toward a pension over 39 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Rehr would collect as much as $4.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Rehr received $89,570 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Rehr will have already received $276,852 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
