Former state school employee Monica Holshouser, who retired in June 2017, saved $115,287 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, Holshouser would collect as much as $2.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Southern Illinois News.

The projection assumes Holshouser received $44,070 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Holshouser will have already received $136,216 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
