Former state school employee Deborah Dibble, who retired in May 2018, saved $119,348 toward a pension over 26 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Dibble would collect as much as $2.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Dibble received $49,747 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dibble will have already received $153,762 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
