Former state school employee Penny Prichard, who retired in December 2017, saved $35,122 toward a pension over 10 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Prichard would collect as much as $490,624, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Prichard received $10,312 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Prichard will have already received $43,141 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
