Former state school employee Melissa Redding, who retired in May 2018, saved $164,720 toward a pension over 36 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Redding would collect as much as $3.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Redding received $72,849 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Redding will have already received $225,168 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
