Former state school employee Cheryl Lankford, who retired in May 2016, saved $79,298 toward a pension over 23 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Lankford would collect as much as $1.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Egypt News.

The projection assumes Lankford received $29,757 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Lankford will have already received $91,977 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
