Money 04

Former state school employee Oscar Forsman, who retired in June 2017, saved $87,497 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, Forsman would collect as much as $1.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.

The projection assumes Forsman received $32,782 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Forsman will have already received $101,325 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
