Former state school employee Pamela Gibbons, who retired in May 2016, saved $175,192 toward a pension over 41 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Gibbons would collect as much as $3.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Gibbons received $70,993 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Gibbons will have already received $219,433 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
