Former state school employee Susan Neeb, who retired in June 2016, saved $111,254 toward a pension over 25 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Neeb would collect as much as $1.63 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.

The projection assumes Neeb received $34,180 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Neeb will have already received $142,995 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
