Former state school employee Deborah Allen, who retired in June 2018, saved $69,513 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Allen would collect as much as $1.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.

The projection assumes Allen received $29,904 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Allen will have already received $92,430 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
