Former state school employee Gwendolyn Cavanaugh, who retired in February 2017, saved $10,783 toward a pension over 8 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Cavanaugh would collect as much as $196,431, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.

The projection assumes Cavanaugh received $4,128 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Cavanaugh will have already received $12,760 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
