Money 05

Former state school employee Joline Oswald, who retired in May 2016, saved $119,364 toward a pension over 31 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Oswald would collect as much as $2.52 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.

The projection assumes Oswald received $52,978 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Oswald will have already received $163,749 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
