Money 03

Former school social worker Olga Figueroa, who retired in November 2016, saved $166,667 toward a pension over 31 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Figueroa would collect as much as $2.93 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Figueroa received $61,529 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Figueroa will have already received $190,180 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
