Former state school employee Pam Trilla Guzior, who retired in June 2016, saved $131,242 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, Trilla Guzior would collect as much as $2.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.

The projection assumes Trilla Guzior received $61,365 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Trilla Guzior will have already received $189,673 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
