Former state school employee Jennifer Clason, who retired in May 2018, saved $150,235 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Clason would collect as much as $3.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Clason received $68,846 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Clason will have already received $212,795 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
