Former state school employee Marian Cash, who retired in May 2016, saved $99,514 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, Cash would collect as much as $2.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Cash received $47,991 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Cash will have already received $148,336 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
