Money 02

Former state school employee Cathy Shelton, who retired in May 2016, saved $165,410 toward a pension over 41 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Shelton would collect as much as $3.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Shelton received $80,090 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Shelton will have already received $247,551 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
