Former state school employee Jane Grisham, who retired in October 2016, saved $82,835 toward a pension over 26 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Grisham would collect as much as $1.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Grisham received $26,387 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Grisham will have already received $110,394 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
