Former state school employee Joseph Furlan, who retired in June 2016, saved $156,640 toward a pension over 22 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Furlan would collect as much as $2.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.

The projection assumes Furlan received $46,715 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Furlan will have already received $195,436 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
