Money 06

Former state school employee Roberta Vitali, who retired in May 2016, saved $7,042 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, Vitali would collect as much as $313,649, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.

The projection assumes Vitali received $6,592 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Vitali will have already received $13,382 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
