Money 02

Former state school employee Larry Powell, who retired in June 2018, saved $9,556 toward a pension over 6 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Powell would collect as much as $141,104, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.

The projection assumes Powell received $2,965 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Powell will have already received $12,405 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
