Former state school employee Shannon Millard, who retired in May 2016, saved $78,121 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, Millard would collect as much as $1.41 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.

The projection assumes Millard received $29,661 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Millard will have already received $91,680 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
