Former state university employee Lynn Wiley, who retired in January 2019, saved $178,078 toward a pension over 25 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Wiley would collect as much as $2.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Wiley received $54,072 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Wiley will have already received $226,217 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
