Former state school employee Lon Simpson, who retired in August 2018, saved $25,872 toward a pension over 8 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Simpson would collect as much as $397,435, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Simpson received $8,353 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Simpson will have already received $34,947 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
