Former state school employee Debra Standley, who retired in May 2017, saved $66,133 toward a pension over 19 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Standley would collect as much as $1.13 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Standley received $23,667 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Standley will have already received $73,152 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
