Former state school employee Jane Locascio, who retired in August 2017, saved $15,325 toward a pension over 2 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Locascio would collect as much as $317,394, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Prairie State Wire.

The projection assumes Locascio received $6,671 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Locascio will have already received $20,619 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
