Former state school employee Denise Ostarello, who retired in June 2018, saved $171,377 toward a pension over 39 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Ostarello would collect as much as $3.58 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.

The projection assumes Ostarello received $75,173 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Ostarello will have already received $232,352 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
