Former state school employee Shirley Frederick, who retired in April 2018, saved $18,968 toward a pension over 9 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Frederick would collect as much as $395,785, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.

The projection assumes Frederick received $8,319 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Frederick will have already received $25,714 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
