Former state school employee Maureen Wallen, who retired in May 2017, saved $135,401 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Wallen would collect as much as $2.93 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Wallen received $61,623 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Wallen will have already received $190,471 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
