Former state school employee Karen Danko, who retired in January 2016, saved $12,365 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, Danko would collect as much as $632,414, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.

The projection assumes Danko received $13,292 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Danko will have already received $13,292 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
