Former state school employee Susan Kenney, who retired in May 2016, saved $82,144 toward a pension over 27 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kenney would collect as much as $1.73 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.

The projection assumes Kenney received $36,266 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Kenney will have already received $112,095 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
