Former state school employee Timothy Thompson, who retired in May 2017, saved $217,083 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Thompson would collect as much as $4.68 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.

The projection assumes Thompson received $98,413 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Thompson will have already received $304,184 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
