Former state school employee Pamela Huff, who retired in June 2018, saved $67,894 toward a pension over 12 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Huff would collect as much as $979,370, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.

The projection assumes Huff received $20,585 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Huff will have already received $86,121 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
