Money 05

Former state school employee Patrick Halloran, who retired in June 2018, saved $279,837 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, Halloran would collect as much as $6.21 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Grundy Reporter.

The projection assumes Halloran received $130,482 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Halloran will have already received $403,306 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
