Former special education worker Jean Davies, who retired in January 2019, saved $13,922 toward a pension over 3 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Davies would collect as much as $191,749, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Davies received $4,030 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Davies will have already received $16,861 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
