Former substitute teacher Keenith Greer, who retired in May 2016, saved $28,224 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Greer would collect as much as $348,333, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Greer received $7,321 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Greer will have already received $30,629 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
