Former state school employee Betty Peters Lambert, who retired in July 2016, saved $181,969 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, Peters Lambert would collect as much as $4.7 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.

The projection assumes Peters Lambert received $98,711 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Peters Lambert will have already received $200,383 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
