Former state school employee Francis Benbrook, who retired in June 2016, saved $52,377 toward a pension over 10 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Benbrook would collect as much as $676,922, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes SE Illinois News.

The projection assumes Benbrook received $14,228 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Benbrook will have already received $59,526 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
