Former state school employee April Horning, who retired in April 2017, saved $100,289 toward a pension over 33 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Horning would collect as much as $2.14 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes SE Illinois News.

The projection assumes Horning received $45,019 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Horning will have already received $139,150 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
