Former substitute teacher Kimberly Huh, who retired in April 2018, saved $11,032 toward a pension over 3 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Huh would collect as much as $213,446, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Huh received $4,486 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Huh will have already received $13,867 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
