Former state school employee Timothy Nee, who retired in May 2018, saved $220,414 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Nee would collect as much as $3.96 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Nee received $83,315 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Nee will have already received $257,517 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
