Former state school employee Betty Hopp, who retired in May 2018, saved $163,568 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, Hopp would collect as much as $4.29 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.

The projection assumes Hopp received $90,093 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Hopp will have already received $182,889 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
