Former state school employee Della Montgomery, who retired in May 2017, saved $117,681 toward a pension over 30 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Montgomery would collect as much as $2.43 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Montgomery received $51,005 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Montgomery will have already received $157,651 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
