Former state school employee Elizabeth Morizzo, who retired in June 2016, saved $114,287 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Morizzo would collect as much as $2.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Morizzo received $51,240 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Morizzo will have already received $158,377 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
