Money 01

Former teacher Kenneth Moss, who retired in February 2019, saved $169,206 toward a pension over 31 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Moss would collect as much as $3.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Moss received $69,003 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Moss will have already received $213,281 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
