Money 02

Former state school employee Sandra Lerner Schwartz, who retired in May 2018, saved $118,599 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Lerner Schwartz would collect as much as $2.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Lerner Schwartz received $53,549 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Lerner Schwartz will have already received $165,514 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
