Former state school employee Cassandra Koehne, who retired in May 2017, saved $41,764 toward a pension over 13 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Koehne would collect as much as $643,444, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Koehne received $13,524 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Koehne will have already received $41,802 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
