Former state school employee Wood paid in $28K to teachers' pension fund, could collect $1.2M in retirement

Money 01

Former state school employee Jeanne Wood, who retired in November 2016, saved $28,333 toward a pension over 11 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Wood would collect as much as $1.2 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Wood received $25,214 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Wood will have already received $51,184 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
