Money 06

Former state school employee Wanda Binion, who retired in May 2016, saved $126,027 toward a pension over 34 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Binion would collect as much as $2.53 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Binion received $53,175 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Binion will have already received $164,358 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
