Former state school employee Custis paid in $65K to teachers' pension fund, could collect $1.5M in retirement

Money 02

Former state school employee Wendy Custis, who retired in May 2016, saved $65,302 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Custis would collect as much as $1.5 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Custis received $31,596 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Custis will have already received $97,660 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
