Former state university employee Frederic Kolb, who retired in November 2018, saved $252,509 toward a pension over 31 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kolb would collect as much as $5.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Kolb received $116,640 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Kolb will have already received $360,522 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
