Former state school employee Andrea Ernest Sheehan, who retired in May 2016, saved $58,858 toward a pension over 12 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Ernest Sheehan would collect as much as $819,751, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Ernest Sheehan received $17,230 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Ernest Sheehan will have already received $72,083 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
