Former special education worker Myrtise Allen McGhee, who retired in July 2018, saved $140,924 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Allen McGhee would collect as much as $2.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Allen McGhee received $42,856 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Allen McGhee will have already received $179,294 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
