Former state school employee Sheila Golbeck, who retired in August 2017, saved $2,350 toward a pension over 1 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Golbeck would collect as much as $22,579, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Golbeck received $474 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 5 years of retirement, Golbeck will have already received $2,517 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
