Former state school employee Anita Morgason, who retired in June 2018, saved $80,257 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Morgason would collect as much as $1.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Morgason received $30,191 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Morgason will have already received $93,318 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
