Former state school employee Deborah Dayton, who retired in May 2017, saved $139,092 toward a pension over 34 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Dayton would collect as much as $2.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Dayton received $58,093 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dayton will have already received $179,560 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
