Former state school employee Kevin Lawson, who retired in December 2017, saved $7,150 toward a pension over 6 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Lawson would collect as much as $438,078, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Lawson received $9,208 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Lawson will have already received $9,208 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
