Former state school employee Kelley Sullivan, who retired in May 2017, saved $126,456 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, Sullivan would collect as much as $2.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Southern Illinois News.

The projection assumes Sullivan received $61,452 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Sullivan will have already received $189,943 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
