Former state school employee Phyllis Fay, who retired in June 2018, saved $177,701 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, Fay would collect as much as $3.58 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.

The projection assumes Fay received $75,276 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Fay will have already received $232,670 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
