Money 07

Former state school employee Lynette Welch, who retired in May 2016, saved $125,798 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, Welch would collect as much as $2.66 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Welch received $55,824 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Welch will have already received $172,547 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
