Money 07

Former state school employee Jennifer Hein, who retired in July 2018, saved $39,081 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, Hein would collect as much as $1.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.

The projection assumes Hein received $24,558 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Hein will have already received $49,853 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
