Former state school employee Judith Bishop, who retired in May 2017, saved $74,120 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, Bishop would collect as much as $1.69 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Bishop received $35,622 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Bishop will have already received $110,105 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
