Former state school employee Cheryl Kramer, who retired in June 2018, saved $65,079 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kramer would collect as much as $804,616, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Kramer received $16,912 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Kramer will have already received $70,753 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
