Former state school employee Maria Levulis, who retired in May 2018, saved $151,989 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Levulis would collect as much as $2.65 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.

The projection assumes Levulis received $55,628 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Levulis will have already received $171,941 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
