Former state university employee Marcia Nelson, who retired in October 2016, saved $4,490 toward a pension over 4 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Nelson would collect as much as $492,228, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Nelson received $10,346 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Nelson will have already received $10,346 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
