Former state school employee Nancy Vorass, who retired in October 2017, saved $13,807 toward a pension over 6 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Vorass would collect as much as $554,776, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Vorass received $11,661 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Vorass will have already received $23,672 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
