Former state school employee Eva Hairrell, who retired in May 2018, saved $106,401 toward a pension over 18 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hairrell would collect as much as $1.9 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Hairrell received $39,895 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Hairrell will have already received $123,312 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
