Former state school employee Joyce Strubhar, who retired in May 2016, saved $104,897 toward a pension over 26 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Strubhar would collect as much as $1.78 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.

The projection assumes Strubhar received $37,388 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Strubhar will have already received $115,563 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
