Former state school employee Silvia Nevarez, who retired in March 2016, saved $62,851 toward a pension over 18 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Nevarez would collect as much as $1.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.

The projection assumes Nevarez received $23,436 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Nevarez will have already received $72,438 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
