Former state school employee Mary Brooks, who retired in May 2016, saved $33,582 toward a pension over 15 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Brooks would collect as much as $525,569, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Brooks received $11,047 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Brooks will have already received $34,144 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
